Chapter – 302-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of meditation and contemplation upon Lord Sri Hari to get rid of sufferings of worldly existence and repeated births

 

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, meditate and contemplate upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari personified as Krishna, the son of Nandhababa. He is supreme Bhramam Lord Sri Hari whose lotus feet are contemplated by the illustrious Sanaka, Sanandhan, Santhkumara and Sanathan, Lord Shankara, Rishis, and Sages, and it is the ultimate asylum of the soul. The Supreme Lord Sri Hari is the purifier of souls, destroyer of sins, and grief of worldly existence. The Veda and scriptures highly emphasize the glories of the worship of the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari and the meditation upon him, the Sesha/Adhishesha, Goddess Sarada, Devarishi Narada, illustrious Rishis and Sages constantly meditate upon the lotus feet of that supreme Lord. Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi relentlessly caresses the lotus feet of the Lord to achieve the dust particles from the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. The touch of the lotus feet of Lord Hari was the origin of the sacred river Ganga on the Earth, purifying the three worlds with the presence of her sacred watercourses. Oh! Mind, contemplation, and meditation upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari is the source of welfare and happiness to the whole Universe, it would destroy the sins of the worshiper, and is capable to liberate from the sufferings and grief of worldly existence, several grave sinners had attained the Bhagavathprapthi/nearness to the Lord by merely reciting the sacred names of the Lord/Sri Ramanama. The dust particles of the supreme Lord Rama removed the curse of Gauthama Pathni Devi Ahalya, and the ferryman who insisted on the ritual bath at the feet of Lord Rama, Devi Sita, and Lakshman, before getting on the board, had achieved the highest of fortune to consume the water/Charanodhaka of Lord Rama. Oh! Mind, there is nothing equivalent to the Charanodhaka of Lord, it is the purifier of the souls, that removes the cycles of birth and death.”
