Chapter – 301- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, leave your interest in worldly matters, and chase
after the physical and material pleasures of fleeting nature, contemplate and
meditate upon Lord Nandhanandhan/Sri Krishna, it would remove the three kinds
of grief of worldly existence [ 1) grief from natural calamities, famine,
drought, flood, forest fire, earthquake, sudden floods, epidemic, etc. 2) grief
from aging, illnesses, fear of death, the grief of separation from beloved ones
3) grief from the attachment on worldly matters of possession, wealth,
richness, money, fame, wife, children, companion, and relatives]. The worship
of Lord Sri Krishna would remove the grief of worldly existence, therefore, perceive
that mesmerizing form of supreme Lord Krishna and the three beautiful curves on
his body, the soft and supple lotus feet, ankles, calves, knees, and thighs resemble
golden pillars. He has attired in a magnificent yellow silk garment that resembles
the pollen of a lotus flower, his beautiful waist ornament decorated with tiny
golden bells, he is adorned in marvelous anklets that produce the laughter of an
infant, he has a deep navel and the hair line to the deep navel resemble the
honeybees are marching towards it. His chest is decorated with sandalwood paste
and vermillion, adorned in Vanamala and pearl garlands, and appears as the
streams of the sacred river Ganga and its river bank packed with the shadows
from the trees of Tamala. He has beautiful hands and arms decorated with golden
and pearl ornaments. His attractive lips are adorned with the flute, his stunning
face resembles the autumn moon covered in the dust from the hove of cows, his
lustrous forehead is decorated with sandalwood and vermillion paste, the beauty
of his nose, sparkling eyes, and teeth, etc. are beyond description. His ears
are adorned with marvelous Makarakundala/fish-shaped ear ornament, that dangling
around the neck area spreading brilliant radiance resembles Lord Kamadeva
dancing to the tune. His black curly hair locks are adorned with feathers of
peacock and beautiful hair ornaments. Oh! Mind, perceive that stunning
appearance of Lord Sri Gopal in your mind, fill your eyes with the mesmerizing
appearance of the Lord of the Universe, do not leave the eyelids to take away
that striking appearance not even for a second, and continue to perceive the marvelous
appearance of Lord persistently.”
