Chapter – 259- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The recitation of Sri Ramanama/ the Sri Ramanamroopi ferry would protect the Jeeva from the sufferings of the ocean of worldly existence and the repeated births
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, sing in praise of the glories of Lord Sri Hari,
and listen and recite the glorious legends of Lord Shyamasundhar, Lord Murari,
he is the Lord of the Universe and its living and non-living things, he has
beautiful eyes that resemble lotus flower petals, he is supreme Bhramam reside
as a soul in the Jeeva, he is beloved of Santh, Mahathma, noble souls. He is benevolent,
and the protector of the distressed Jeeva. Oh! Mortals, the worldly existence
is a bottomless ocean filled with the waters of lust and desires, and it’s
packed with the powerful current that resembles Thrishna/illusion. Oh! Mortals,
whoever has taken shelter in the Sri Rama Namaroopi ferry have crossed the ocean
of worldly existence at ease, and on the other hand, the unfortunate attached
to the infinite worldly matters of sounds, passions, appearances, smells, and
passions did not make it, they constantly threw themselves into the miseries
and grief/Thapathraya /1) grief caused from the epidemic, flood, famine,
drought, forest fire, earthquake, etc. 2) grief caused from aging, illnesses, fear of
death, grief from the separation of beloved ones 3) grief caused from the
excessive attachment to possession, wealth, richness, fame, money, wealth,
children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. of worldly existence and repeated
births. Oh! Mortals, he is the supreme Bhramam omnipresent, omnipotent, and
omniscient, Lord of Lords and Lord of the Universe, he is primeval, pure,
flawless, eternal and unblemished, free from dualities and grief, so how I can
leave that supreme Lord Sri Hari and beg before the demi-gods? The Bhikshus/Gnani who has attained the knowledge of supreme Bhramam won’t
beg before everyone.”
