Chapter – 8 – Sri Guru Gita – 71 – 80
Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi, the
preceptor enlightens the Jeeva with the knowledge of Adhvatheeya Paramathma
Parambhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, and oneness-in-all, the disciple who
sincerely follow the lessons of Guru, need not take shelter in the dense wood.
The disciple who sincerely follows the Shamadhamadhi, austerities, vows,
observance of celibacy, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, and undertakes the worship of preceptor,
meditation and contemplation etc. for several years achieve the superior state
of Samadhi, and get rid of all the accumulated sins of several births. The supreme
Bramham is omnipresent, invisible, has no specific appearance, changeless, independent,
and Niramaya, therefore, how could you invoke that all-pervasive Bhramam on a dais/Peedam?
Or How could you discard/Visarjjanam that has neither appearance nor access
on it? How did the Amoorththa/virtual, abstract thing is worshiped? How did the
meditation of Niramaya/pure, omnipresent Bhramam has been conducted? Therefore,
the preceptor is Bhrama, Vishnu and Rudra, symbolizes the Rajasik creator
Bhrama, the Sathvik preserver Vishnu, and the Thamasik destroyer Rudra. The
supreme Bhramam is Sarvaga/omnipresent, the Universe and its living and
non-living things initiated from the supreme Bhramam, are vested on it. The Paramathma
resides as soul/Athman in the Jeeva is the source of the functioning of the
mind, intellect, chithth, Ahamkara, Prana, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas. The Bramham
is indestructible Purusha Paramathma Parambhramam and the infinite Nama, Roopa,
Dhrishyas are destructible Prakrithi that has momentary life. The nearness of
the Preceptor enlightens the Jeeva with the Bhramamjjana, inspires the Jeeva to
take up the austerities and Tapasya/Shamadhamadhi, Athmavichara and get relieved
from the interest in worldly matters and bondage, I and body consciousness, and
impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, ultimately
achieves the serenity of mind. The Mahathmas are contented souls and have already
abandoned the interest in the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, are free from likes
and dislikes, respect and disrespect, sorrow and happiness, grief and joy,
fearlessly wander all around without any anguish, and remain serene and
blissful always, they are addressed as ‘Sarvajja’. The direction and the region get sanctified where that Mahathmas lives, Oh! Devi, I have already
described the characteristics of Jeevan Muktha, these are the glorious
Upadhesha/advice, achieves by the fortunate Jeeva from the Preceptor that would
provide Mukthi, the intellectuals, and noble souls sincerely follow the worship
and selfless service to the preceptor and achieves fruitfulness in their lives.”
