Chapter – 8 – Sri Guru Gita – 71 – 80
Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi, the disciple
who sincerely worship and serve the preceptor achieves the supreme knowledge of
all-pervasive Bhramam, the Jeeva afar from the preceptor does not understand
the Paramarththa Thaththva/knowledge of ‘self, hence I shall prostrate the
supreme Preceptor who imparts the knowledge of Bhramam. The Karya Karnaroopa/cause
and effect is the supreme Bhramam, the preceptor imparts the knowledge of the
all-pervasive Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, which is the single source
of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Chitta, Ahamkara, karma, and
Gnanendhriyas. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who introduces
the Karya and Karna Paramathma Parambhramam. I shall prostrate before the
supreme Preceptor who enlightens the knowledge of all-pervasive Bhramam. The
Universe and its living and non-living things are vested in the Bhramam which
is beyond comparison or description. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor
who symbolizes Gnanashakthi, adorned the garland of Thaththvamala, is the
provider of Bhukthi/worldly pleasures as well as Mukthi/liberation from the
worldly existence to his worshiper. I shall prostrate before the supreme
Preceptor who symbolizes Gnananala/blaze of wisdom, destroys the accumulated
Karma/Attributes achieved by the Jeeva in several births. I shall prostrate
before the supreme Preceptor whose Padhodhaka/water used to wash the feet would
dry up the Bhavasindhu/ocean of worldly existence, and enlightens the Jeeva
with the knowledge of impermanent nature of Prakrithi/material matters,
richness, wealth, money, possession, fame, attachment to wife, children,
relatives, and companions, etc. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor
whose Thapa, Gnana, Thathva is beyond comparison. Oh! Devi, I shall prostrate
before my preceptor Lord Jagannatha, and he is Jagathguru. I am that supreme
Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, I am that Sarvabhoothathma. Oh! Devi, I
shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor, Guru is Adhi/primordial, and
eternal as well. Guru is Paramadheivatham, there is no superior Manthra other
than the Guru Manthra. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who is
sole Bandhu/companion and relative, during the hours of hardships, Guru is
Sakala Dharmathma imparts the knowledge about the duties and responsibilities of
the Jeeva prescribed in the scriptures in order to achieve Paramarththa
Thaththva and protects the Jeeva from the vicious cycles of rebirth.”
