Sri Surdas Maharaj – Sri Sur – Vinaya – Pathrika – ‘Bhrama Sathyam Jagath Mithya’/soul is eternal, and all the material matters are an illusion – The liberated souls

 



Chapter – 299-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –‘Bhrama Sathyam Jagath Mithya’/soul is eternal, and all the material matters are an illusion – The liberated souls

 

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, the fortunate ones contemplate and meditate upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari by word, mind, and deed. They abandon their interest in worldly matters of infinite sounds, passion, touch, smell, and appearances. They undertake austerities, Shama, Dhama, Sathyam, Dhaya, Dhanam, Ahimsa, Arjjavam, Astheyam, Bhramacharya, Swadhyaya, etc., and get rid of the impurities of the mind, the attachment to the possession, wealth, money, fame, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. The constant remembrance of the sacred names of the Supreme Lord, and his endless glories would take away the interest in worldly matters of fleeting nature, finally, they achieve the superior state of Samadhi/transcendental, and remain in perpetual bliss, are the liberated souls.  The Universe and the infinite material matters seem ‘unreal’ like dreams to them, they do not feel hunger or thirst, cold or heat, disgrace or honor, joy or grief, happiness or sorrow, they grow beyond the sufferings of the dualities. These liberated souls will not have friends or foes, grief or joy, they roam fearlessly, perceiving the all-pervasive Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in living and non-living things/Oneness-in-all/ which is flawless, unblemished, eternal bliss, and has no color, religion, faith, belief, clan, appearance, etc. These liberated souls live in permanent bliss while living on Earth without getting attached to worldly matters, and afterlife they attain union with the supreme Bhramam so that they need not return to worldly existence or repeated births.”
