Surdas · Vinay ke Pad
Surdas Pad 6 meaning
re man moorakh, janam ganvayau
kari abhiman bishaya-ras geedhyau, syam saran nahin ayau
रे मन मूरख, जनम गँवायौ।
करि अभिमान बिषय-रस गीध्यौ, स्याम सरन नहिं आयौ॥
O foolish mind, you have wasted this life. Full of pride, you got hooked on pleasures and never came to take shelter in Shyam.
What it means
It's easy to spend years chasing pleasure and status while neglecting what nourishes the soul. Surdas speaks to his own mind; it's never too late to change direction.How it helps in real life
- Every day: You've turned forty and realise the years went into parties and status. Start small: one morning a week for prayer or reading.
- Helping others: Last year's bonus went on another watch. This time, give a part of it to a gaushala or an orphanage you trust.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अरे मूर्ख मन, तूने जीवन गँवा दिया। अभिमान में विषयों के रस में उलझा रहा और श्याम की शरण में नहीं आया।
सुख और रुतबे के पीछे भागते हुए आत्मा की ज़रूरतें छूट जाती हैं। सूरदास अपने ही मन से कह रहे हैं; दिशा बदलने में कभी देर नहीं होती।
Spoken by Surdas.
