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.
