Chapter – 295- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The significance of the
practice of pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Hari, how do I live without the worship of
your lotus feet? How can I refrain from pure love at your lotus feet? Oh!
Prabho, you are the cause of the Universe, and its living and non-living
things, Oh! Lord of the Universe, you are the creator, preserver, and destroyer
of the Universe, you are omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient
Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam/Sath-eternal, Chith-pure,
Anandha-bliss/ resides as a soul in the living beings, you are the source of
the functioning of the mind, intellect, chiththa, Ahamkara, Karma, and
Gnanendhriyas, etc. You represent the Mahaththaththva/sun, moon, fire, and air,
and Panchaththaththva/Earth, air, water, ether, and fire, the three
attributes/Rajasi, Sathvik, and Thamasik, etc. Oh! Prabho, I am that Harina/deer
that gets attracted to the melodious music and get caught up in the hands of
the hunter, I am that Chakora bird that takes great pleasure looking at the
full moon and keeps staring at it. I am that lotus flower that blossoms at the
sight of sunrise, in the same manner, I take great pleasure in singing in
praise of your virtues and listening to your glorious legends.”

Hamare Pran | Chooti Gaye Kaisau Jan
Jeevath Jyau Pani Binu Pan || Jaisau Magana Nadharasa Saranga Badhatha Vadhika

Chakori Dhekhath Hi Sukha Man || Jaisau Kamala Hoth Athi Praphullitha Dhekhath
Dharasana Bhan | Surdas Prabhu Hariguna Meete Nitha Prathi Suniyath Kan ||
