Shree Guru Gita

From bathing and other things in holy
   places extending to the seven oceans, this fruit
From a thousandth part of a droplet of water
   of the Guru's feet is not difficult to obtain.


If Hari is angry the Guru is a saviour,
   if the Guru is angry no one is,
Therefore with every effort,
   to shree Guru's protection one should go.


The Guru only is the world entirely,
   consisting of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
Higher than the Guru there is not,
   therefore one should completely worship the Guru.


Knowledge with wisdom,
   is obtained by devotion to the Guru.
Higher than the Guru there is not,
   to be meditated upon is he by those clearing the Guru's way.


Higher than whom there is not,
   "not this, not this" declare the Shrutis.
With mind and even with speech,
   continually one should worship the Guru.


By the Guru's grace and prasad,
   Brahma, Vishnu, and Sadashiva
Are capable and powerful,
   only by service to the Guru.


Gods, kinnaras, gandharvas,
   ancestors, yakshas, charanas,
Even sages, do not know
   how to attend to the Guru correctly.


With pride and great egos,
   endowed with the power of learning and tapas,
They are in the vortex of the throat of samsara,
   in a water jar machine, like the water jars.


They are not liberated, gods, gandharvas,
   ancestors, yakshas, kinnaras,
Rishis, and all siddhas,
   whose faces are averted from Guruseva.


To the meditation listen, O great goddess,
   which bestows all bliss,
Causing all comfort continually,
   establishing liberation and enjoyment.
