Shree Guru Gita |
|
 |
The Vedas, Shastras, Puranas, historical accounts and others, And the science of mantra, yantra, and so on, smrutis, the uccatana and other incantations, |
 |
Shaiva, Shakta treatises and so on, and others variously, In this world cause the downfall, of those beings with deluded minds. |
 |
Yajnas, vows, tapa, charity, japa, pilgrimage, and so on, The Guru principle not knowing, fools they are those wandering people. |
 |
The Guru is the enlightened Self, no other, this is true, this is true, no doubt. In order to attain that, effort however should surely be done by wise ones. |
 |
The hidden knowledge, the world's maya, and in the body born of ignorance, Arising by whose light, by the word Guru it is called. |
 |
Having purified the Self of all sins, through seva at shree Guru's feet, An embodied one can become Brahman by this. In order to give you grace I am speaking to you. |
 |
The lotus of the Guru's feet having remembered, water on the head one should support, Of bathing in all the places of pilgrimage, he obtains this fruit, a person. |
 |
Drying up the muddy quagmire of sins, kindling the fire of knowledge, The water of the Guru's feet properly is a crossing over the ocean of samsara. |
 |
Destroying the root of ignorance, ending karmas and birth, In order to attain detachment and knowledge, the water of the Guru's feet one should drink. |
 |
The water of the Guru's feet having drunk, there is the Guru's left over food. Of the Guru's form there is always meditation, the Guru's mantra one should always repeat. |
