Chapter – 263- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Sri Hari, Oh! Prabho, finally I have understood the reason
for my constant grief and agony, Oh! Giridharlal, I have not practiced pure love and devotion at
your lotus feet and I did not leave my attachments to possession, wealth,
money, fame, children, wife, companion, and relatives, I have not stopped
chasing the material and physical pleasures. Oh! Prabho, when I was wealthy, all
I was doing to appease my senses and satisfy the people around me, I did not
conduct journeys to the sacred land of Vraja, or I did not serve Santh,
Mahathma, and preceptors, or I did not contribute to the service of
your devotees, Bhramins, and cows. Oh! Prabho, when I was young and wealthy, I built
a marvelous house and filled it with all the luxuries, I was always seeking
pleasure from women, attached to children, relatives, brothers, etc. I did not
strive to be in the association of Sathpurusha, Santh, or Mahathma, or I did
not find interest in singing in praise of you or listening to your glorious legends, I was ignorant, and I did not
understand the scheme of Vidhatha, as the years passed by, I have lost wealth as
well as strength. I have been assimilating wealth in all
improper ways, I have taken away the wealth of others, I have performed all the
Dharma as well as Adharmic deeds, and finally, all those became unbearable, and ultimately I have lost my serenity. Oh! Prabho, I am unfortunate, dull-minded, and wicked,
my heart became the vessel filled with the waters of Thrishna/endless desires
and the evilness of the Kali Era. Oh! Prabho, I have no one to protect me, kindly
liberate me from the sufferings of worldly existence and repeated births.”
Hari Ju Hau Yathau
Dhukhapathra | Sri Giridharana Charanrathi Na Bhayi Thaji Bishaya Rasa Mathra
|| Huthau Aadya Thab Kiyau Asadhbyaya Kari Na Braja Bana Jathra | Poshe Nahi Thuva Dhasa Prema
Sau Poshyau Apanau Gathra || Bhavana
Savari Nariras Lobhyau Sutha Bahan Jana
Brathra | Mahanubhava Nikata Nahi Parase Janyau Na Kritha Bidhathra ||
Cchal Bal Kari Jitha Thitha Hari Paradhana Dhayau Sab Dhina Rathra |
SudhdhaSudhdha Bojj Bahu Bahyau Sir Krishi Ju Kari Lai Dhathra || Hridhaya Kucheela Kamabhu Thrishnajala
Kalimala Hai Pathra | Yese Kumathi Jat
Suraj Ko Na Dhathra||
