Shree Guru Gita |
|
 |
The land of Kashi is his dwelling, Jahnavi is the water of his feet. The Guru is Vishveshvara incarnate, crossing over Brahman, certainly. |
 |
But the water of the Guru's feet which is Gaya, that is the Akshaya banyan tree. And the king of places of pilgrimage, Prayag. to the Guru's form, salutations, salutations. |
 |
The Guru's form one should remember continually. The Guru's name one should always repeat. The Guru's command one should go forth and do. Different from the Guru one should not be. |
 |
Abiding in the Guru's mouth is Brahman, it is obtained from his prasad. The Guru's meditation one should always do, like the woman of noble family on her husband. |
 |
One's stage in life and one's caste and, one's reputation, increasing one's well being, This all is abandoned. Different from the Guru one should not be. |
 |
For one who thinks of nothing else but me, easy to attain is the supreme position. Therefore by means of all effort, propitiation of the Guru do. |
 |
In the three worlds is one who speaks plainly, other gods, demons, and snake-demons. Residing in the Guru's mouth is knowledge, but through devotion to the Guru is it obtained. |
 |
But the Gu syllable is darkness and, the Ru syllable is said to be fire. The swallower of ignorance, Brahman, the Guru indeed is, no doubt. |
 |
The Gu syllable is the first letter, illuminating the gunas, maya, and others. The Ru syllable, second, is Brahman, the destruction of maya's rotation. |
 |
Thus the position of the Guru is the best, even for gods difficult to attain. By Haha and Huhu groups indeed, and by gandharvas it is worshipped. |
