Chapter – 251- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho Oh! Karunamaya, have you abandoned your promise to
your devotees? You are Pathithapavan/Pathithaudhdharan, you are the savior of
the distressed souls who are drenched in worldly matters of possession,
richness, money, fame, wealth, children, wife, companions, and relatives of
fleeting nature, and constantly throwing themselves to three kinds of grief.
Oh! Prabho, I am a grave sinner I did not practice devotion and pure love at
the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, thus wasted the three important phases of life
soaked in worldly matters, driven afar from you while chasing after
Mrigathrishna, ultimately people like me lost their chances to attain the four
Purusharththa/Dharma/righteousness, Arthth/wealth to perform righteous deeds,
Kama/desire to perform the righteous deeds, and ultimately achieve the
Moksha/liberation from repeated births, I have refused to follow the precious advice
of Santh Mahathma and noble souls. Oh! Prabho, I want to get rid of this dirty old
rag like the impurities of my mind such as lust, desire, ego, pride, jealousy,
anger, Ahamkara, and Mamakara with the water that resembles sing in praise of
your glories, I am unfortunate, I have wasted my entire life attached to
worldly matters, and finally reached the later years of age, now I have no
interest or health to follow the austerities and disciplines. Oh! Prabho, if you
look at the Karmas/deeds of mine, kindly do not get infuriated, I have no
courage to explain the wicked deeds I have committed. Oh! Prabho, it is certain
that I am a distressed soul, and you are the savior of the distressed, kindly
listen to my cries, and liberate me from the sufferings of worldly existence
and repeated births.”
