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.”
