Chapter – 276- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The youth, beautiful
appearance, possession, wealth, fame, richness, etc. are like the clouds in the
sky, it has fleeting nature
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, do not take pride in your body, wealth,
possession, and clan, which are impermanent. The demon Hiranyakashipu took great
pride in his mightiness, undertook extreme penance, and achieved unique boons from
Lord Bhrama, finally, he met terrible death at the hands of Nrisimha. The demon
Kamsa was notorious, he imprisoned his own sister Devi Devaki and her husband
Vasudeva at the divine instruction that the eighth child of Devi Devaki would
take away his life, and he killed their children immediately after birth. Kamsa
was in constant fear of death, he sent several demons to kill the eighth child
of Devi Devaki, but Lord Krishna killed all those demons with the might of his
hands. Lord Bhrama, deities, and Indra
were proud of their glories, but they all had to feel guilty later. Oh! Mortals,
listen to me carefully, the youthful state, beautiful
appearance, possession, wealth, fame, richness, etc. are like the clouds in the
sky, it has fleeting nature. Therefore, leave your pride and arrogance, sing
in praise of Lord Sri Hari, and always remember that the people who have taken
great pride met terrible deaths.”
Garab Gobindhhi Bhavath Nahi | Kaisi Kari Hiranyakashyap
Sau Pragat Hoyi Cchin Mahi || Jaga Janai Karthoothi Kamsa Ki Brisha Marththyau
Bala Bahi | Bhrama Indhradhik Pachithane Garba Dhari Manmahi || Jauban Roopa
Raja Dhan Dharthi Jani Jaladh Ki Cchahi | Surdas Hari Bhajau Garba Thaji Bimukha
Agathi Kau Jahi ||
