Chapter – 10 – Sri Guru Gita – 91 – 100
Lord Mahadeva speaks “ Oh! Devi, the syllable
‘Gu’ represents Gunatheetha/ beyond virtues, and ‘Ru’ represents Roopavarjjitha/
invisible/lack of specific appearance. The Supreme Preceptor introduces the
all-pervasive supreme Bhramam that is beyond the Triguna/attributes of Tamasik,
Rajasik and Sathwik nature, and has no specific appearance, resides as
soul/Athman. Oh! Priye, the preceptor is the one who represents
Trinities/Bhrama, Vishnu, and Shiva, he is the essence of three-eyed Lord Shiva, four-armed Lord Vishnu, and four-faced Lord Bhrama. I shall
earnestly pray with the folded palm to the preceptor to protect the ignorant
Jeeva already drenched in the material matters of richness, wealth, fame, possession,
money, attachment to wife, children, relatives, and companion, and constantly
undergoes miseries and sorrows of the worldly existence in the absence of any
of the above, ultimately hurls themselves into the vicious cycles of rebirth. Therefore,
I stood with folded hands before the preceptor, and pray to shower his compassionate
grace upon the Jeeva and protects them from the vicious cycles of rebirth, and provide
Moksha. The unfortunate Jeeva cannot achieve the
nearness of the Preceptor, like the blind cannot see the brilliance of sunrays.
The Preceptor symbolizes supreme wisdom can be achieved and perceived with the
Vivekachakshu/intelligence. The Preceptor/Sadhguru should be worshiped thrice a
day, of his commendable service for elevating the souls of crores of the clan,
imparting the knowledge of self’ Athma Paramathma, the indestructible Purusha
resides as soul and the destructible Prakrithi, thereby destroying the interest
in worldly matters and bondage, I and body consciousness, the impurities of
Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya in the Jeeva, and inspires
them to undertake austerities, observance of celibacy and vow, Shamadhamadhi,
Swadhyaya and Athmavichara etc. to achieve the union with the Sacchidhanandaghanaswroopa
Paramathma Parambhramam. Oh! Priye, it is important to carry out sincere
worships of Guru and reverentially prostrate before the lotus feet of the
Preceptor on a regular basis, and bow down before him whichever the direction Guru
appears, and sincerely do Sashtanga Namakara/Dhandanamaskara, eulogize his
glories and worship him. It would enhance the stability of mind, tranquility,
steadfastness and perseverance in the Jeeva. Oh! Devi, the Ashtanga Namaskara
is surrendering all the limbs such as Dhorbhyam/hand, Padhabhyam/feet,
Jaghnubhyam/leg, knee, calves, Urasa/chest portion, Shirasa/head,
Dhrishya/eyes, Manasa/mind and intellect, Vachasa/words to the preceptor, and
prostrate before him. The preceptor is the Nithyasakshi/perpetual witness of
the Nithyapralaya/creation, preservation, and destruction of material matters/Prakrithi,
hence the Mumukshu prostrates before that Bhagavan Guruchakravarthi, conducts worship
and eulogizes him on a regular basis. Oh! Devi, what’s the benefit of
undertaking strenuous Tapasya and austerities for several years to remove the
impurities of mind? What’s the use of undertaking extremely difficult tasks
like hundreds of Pranayama that cannot remove the miseries and sorrows of
worldly existence permanently? Therefore, it is necessary to worship and
contemplate upon the lotus feet of Guru who removes even the air of grief with his
mere presence.”
