Chapter - 6 – Sri Guru Gita – 51 – 60
Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi, the Mumukshu
serve the Preceptor sincerely with the mind, deeds, and words, they make all
efforts to please the preceptor, it is essential that the disciple should abandon
pride and arrogance, and fall straight/Dheergha Dhandam at the lotus feet of
the preceptor and worship him. The Mumukshu surrender his sense/Karma and
Gnanendhriyas, Prana, wealth, possession, richness, money, families, and
relatives in the service of the preceptor. There is no one superior to Guru, he
is Bhrama Vishnu Shivathmaka represents the all-pervasive Bhramam, hence the preceptor is most venerable. The preceptor represents the Shirorathna/precious
jewel adorn on the crown, of Sarva Shruthi, imparts the knowledge of Vedantha
and its meanings to his disciple, hence he is most venerable. The sincere worship at the lotus feet of the Preceptor and the mere remembrance
of Guru would bring an abundance of piousness and provides wisdom as well. Oh!
Devi, the body is the dwelling place of plenty of worms, and a bundle of
secrets. It is a component made of Shleshma/Phlegm, Raktham/blood, Thvacha/skin,
and Mamsa/meat. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who protects the
Jeeva from the vicious cycles of rebirth, Oh! Devi, it is preordained fact that
all living and non-living things in the Prapancha/Samasaravruksha, heave to the
ocean of hell, the Preceptor protects the Jeeva from hurling into the vicious
cycles of rebirth, by imparting the knowledge of Parmarththa/the knowledge of
self’, indestructible Purusha /Paramathma resides as soul, the destructible
nature of Prakrithi, and remove the interest in worldly matters and bondage. I
shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who represents Bhrama, Vishnu, and
Shiva. He is that all-pervasive Bhramam free from afflictions and impurities of
Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, he is pure, unblemished, and
supreme bliss. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who cures the
blindness like ignorance in the disciple and imparts the knowledge of supreme
Purusha who resides as soul, and Mayaswaroopini Prakrithi, he applies the ink of
wisdom on the eyes of disciple and makes the life of the Jeeva fruitful. Oh!
Devi, I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who introduces 1) The universe and its living and non-living things initiated are from the supreme
Purusha with the influence of Mayaswaroopini Prakrithi, 2) the Parmarththa
Thaththva of ‘Oneness-in-all’, 3) and all those living and non-living things
are nothing but Bhramam.”
