Chapter – 5 – Sri Guru Gita – 41 – 50
Lord Mahadeva speaks “ Oh! Parvathi, the
grace of supreme preceptor is highly capable to protect the Jeeva from the
curse of Muni/Rishis and Sage, Pannaga, Sura, and even from fears under the
clutches of the Kalamrithyu. Alas! None of the deities are capable to protect
the Jeeva from the curse of the Preceptor or none of the Rishis and Sages are
capable to relieve the curse or protect the Jeeva from the curse of Guru. Oh!
Devi, the sacred syllables ‘Gu’ and ‘Ru’ is Manthraraja, is the superior among
the sacred syllables and is the essence of Smrithi, Veda, Purana as well. The person who has embraced
the saffron robes, Dhanda, Kamandalu to achieve honor from the public, cannot
be addressed a Sanyasin, if he is not Jjanathathpara/enthusiastic to achieve
knowledge, and has profound knowledge in Paramarththa Thaththva,
Nigamagamashasthra, Shruthi, Smrithi, Purana, etc. The person who achieves the
Mahavakya/Manthradheeksha after several years of sincere worship at the lotus
feet of the Preceptor is addressed as Sanyasin otherwise he is merely a Veshadhari/person
attired in saffron robes. The preceptor enlightens the Jeeva with the knowledge
of indestructible Purusha/Paramathma resides as a soul in the Jeeva, which is
supreme Bhramam, Nithya, Nirakara,
Nirguna, pure, unblemished, free from afflictions, has neither birth nor death.
The Preceptor imparts the knowledge of destructible Prakrithi/material matters
such as fame, money, richness, possession, wealth, attachment to wife,
children, relatives, and companion, etc., that have fleeting nature causes
constant miseries and sorrows in the absence of them. The infinite Nama Roopa
Dhrishya in the Prakrithi has momentary life like in the Swapnavastha/dream,
all those Dhrishya disappears in the Sushupthi/sleep, therefore the Prakrithi
has impermanent nature. The Athman/soul is Paramathma which is the sole source
of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Chithth, Ahamkara, Prana, Karma, and
Gnanendhriyas, the body, and material matters undergo constant transformation
and ruin. The Preceptor symbolizes Dheepa/lightened lamp of brilliant flames
inspires the Jeeva with the knowledge of Bhrama Thaththva and lightens the
knowledge in his disciple thereby removes the darkness of ignorance. In this
way, the compassionate Preceptor inspires the disciple to undertake the
Shamadhamadi, austerities, vows, observance of celibacy, Swadhyaya,
Athmavichara etc. to get rid of impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha,
and Mathshcharya, body and I consciousness, interest in worldly matters and
bondage, and guides through the Mukthimarga. I shall prostrate before the
Preceptor who symbolizes all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, and the Universe and
its living and non-living things are the essence of that Paramathma Parambhramam.
I shall meditate upon the supreme preceptor who is beyond comparison or
description enlightens the Jeeva with the knowledge of Paramarththa Thaththva,
and thereby removes illusions of worldly existence, provides eternal bliss, and
resides in the heart-like lotus heart of the worshiper, has the sparkling of
Shudhdha Spatika/pure crystal. I am that Paramathma Parambhramam, I am not
different from that Parambhramam, like the reflection of crystal on the crystal,
and the reflection of the mirror on the mirror. I am that Chithakaranandhaswaroopa
Paramathma Parambhramam resides as Athman in me.”
