Chapter – 256- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The bottomless ocean
of worldly existence is contaminated with the evilness of the Kali era, and the
Santh Mahathma and noble souls are the purifiers of Jeeva
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri
Hari, I have been drenched in lust,
desire, ego, jealousy, pride, anger Ahamhara, Mamakara, chasing after infinite
sounds, appearances, touches, smells, and passions, now I have reached the
later years of age, I am helpless, my limbs are weak not cooperating with the
mind, the senses are not working like before, my movements are restricted, I
have become dependent on people to perform my routine, I am sinking in the ocean
of worldly existence, why are you not responding to my cries? Oh! Dheenabandhu,
Oh! Kripanidhi, kindly remove the grief and sufferings of your servant, I have
been stuck in the deep cave of Mamatha/Mamakara,
which was filled with the drops of desires/Kamanaroopi, created a brimming river
of endless desires/Moharoopi. I am sinking in the grief and sufferings of
worldly existence, I have no one to protect other than the preceptors, Santh,
Mahathma, and noble souls, all I feel solace in the nectar-like words of
saintly people, the Krodh/anger and greed/Lobha resembles the drains inviting
me, I am carried away by the waters of Moharoopi Mrigathrishna, and burning my
body day and night, Oh! Prabho, the stream of worldly existence has become
toxic, polluted with lust, desire, ego, anger, pride, jealousy, Ahamkara and
Mamakara, and the evilness of Kali era, I am sinking in the contaminated waters
of worldly existence, Oh! Prabho, you are the savior of the distressed souls,
kindly protect me from the sufferings of worldly existence and repeated births.”
