Chapter
– 3 – Sri Guru Gita –21 – 30
Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi, I have
described the Dharmasara/the essence of Dharma to you, I shall repeatedly promise
you that there are no sacred verses superior to Guru Gita, or there are no
sacred hymns superior which describes the splendor of the Preceptor. The
preceptor symbolizes the supreme Lord and Dharma/righteousness, the sincere service
and worship at the lotus feet of the preceptor are the Tapasya. There is no philosophy
superior to Guru Thaththva, there is no one superior to Preceptor, I shall
repeatedly promise you Guru is Dharma, worship and sincere service to preceptor
is Tapasya, and Guru Thaththva is the supreme philosophy. Oh! Devi, The Jeeva
who sincerely devoted to preceptor would be fortunate, and the Mother Earth
would get pleased to bear him, and the parents, Gothra and Kula achieve
fruitfulness of the Gurubhakthi of the person born in the clan. Oh! Devi, the
sincere worship at the lotus feet of Guru, and selfless service to Guru would
please him, it would provide the fruitfulness of all the pious deeds, including
the performance of Yaga, Tapasya, Vratha, of Kalpakoti. The preceptor is none
other than the Bhramam, he is Matha, Pitha, Bandhu, Swajana, Sakha, Buddhi,
Indhriya, Mana, Prana, wealth, possession, clan, etc. The unfortunate Jeeva
keeps afar from the preceptor, loses the opportunity to serve the preceptor and
worship him, ultimately hurls into hell.
Oh! Parvathi, the perpetual grace of preceptor is essential to achieve
the fruitfulness of life, otherwise even if he is Bhrama, Vishnu, Shiva, Rudra,
Pithru, Deva, Gandharva, Kinnara, Siddha, Charana, Yaksha, Muni, etc. will not
achieve the fruitfulness of life, and their destruction is certain. The wisdom,
wealth, courage, strength, fortune, etc. without the grace of the preceptor will
not provide fruitfulness/success. Oh! Devi, the lotus feet of the preceptor is
the origin of all the sacred Theerthas, therefore, the selfless service and
sincere worship of Guru would provide commendable rewards, without the devotion
and faith at the feet of Guru, the dip in the sacred rivers would be
meaningless. Oh! Devi, I have not shared the highly confidential and superior
verses of Guru Gita to unfortunate Jeeva who are depraved, drenched in the
material matters of richness, wealth, money, possession, fame, attachment to
wife, children, relatives, companions, etc. and the Jeeva constantly chases after
sensual pleasure, impure and swollen with pride of the body and I consciousness.”
