Chapter – 4 – Sri Guru Gita –31 – 40
Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Parvathi, Guru
Gita is a highly confidential hymn and it needed to keep safe and sound, it should
not be disclosed to disbelievers or people who have no interest in Guru
Thaththva, or Athma Thaththva. Oh! Sathi, you should keep the sacred hymns within
you, Oh! Varanane, I have shared the highly propitious Guru Gita to you for
your personal benefit, you are inseparable from me. Oh! Devi, it should not be
shared with the devotees who have favorable deities and engages in the worship
of Ganapathi, Surya, Vishnu, Shakthi, Shiva, etc. Oh! Mahamaye, do not share the
highly propitious hymns to the disbelievers, deceitful, wicked, Pashanda, and
people have no devotion or faith in the Lord or preceptor. Oh! Devi, There are several Preceptors in
saffron robes who steal the wealth of disciple, but it is extremely difficult to
find a genuine preceptor who could remove the Thrividha Thapa of the disciple.
The Mumukshu who is enthusiastic, steadfast, intelligent, have knowledge of Adhyathmajjana,
pure-hearted achieves the supreme Preceptor. Oh! Devi, the Preceptor is the one
who removes the qualms and trepidation of the disciple with his mere presence,
kind-hearted has profound knowledge in all the Nigama Agama Shashtra, pleasant,
pure, have perfect control over sense, free from impurities of Kama, Krodha,
Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathshcharya, Sadhachara, immerse in the Athmavichara
and Athma Manthan inspires the disciple to follow Shamadhamadhi, austerities,
Tapasya, Athmavichara, meditation, and contemplation, impart the knowledge of
self/Athman constantly engages in the lectures on the knowledge of
Bramham/supreme Purusha and Prakrithi etc. The intelligent one follows the
scriptures of illustrious Sages and Rishis, and after learning knowledge from
the scriptures approaches the Preceptor who is Thaththvanishta. Oh! Devi, The Preceptor is the one who has
profound knowledge in all the scriptures, and the knowledge of
colorful/infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya of destructible Prakrithi and the nature
of indestructible Purusha, etc. Oh! Parvathi, the preceptor is Vachaka, who imparts
I) the knowledge of Varnna Ashrama Dharma, and the duties to be followed by each
Varnna and Ashrama. The four Varnna 1) Bhramana 2) Kshatriya, 3) Vaishya and
4) Shudhra, and their duties and responsibilities prescribed in the
scriptures. The four Ashramadharma 1)
Bhramacharya 2) Grihastha 3) Sanyasa and 4) Vanaprastha and the duties and responsibilities
of respective Ashrama. Secondly the II) disparities between Dharma and Adharma,
in the sense, the Karma prescribed in the scripture which is not objectionable is
Dharma and the Karma prescribed in the scripture as objectionable is Adharma.
The preceptor imparts the knowledge of the above, and inspire the people to
follow the Dharmic rite. Oh! Parvathi, the preceptor who offer Manthradheeksha,
or Panchakshara or any auspicious Manthra in the ears of the disciple, is
Bodhaka considered as highly superior.”
