Shree Guru Gita
By whom this surely is perceived,
   not whom the mind perceives,
Waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and others,
   to that shree Guru salutations.
Whose knowledge of this whole universe,
   is not seen split into differences,
To the form that is the one true form,
   to that shree Guru salutations.
He who has no belief, he has belief,
   he who has belief, he does not know.
To the existence depending on no other existence,
   to that shree Guru salutations.
He who has the form of the cause,
   who by the form of the effect appears,
To the form of the cause and the effect,
   to that shree Guru salutations.
A diversified form this all is,
   but not with anything is there diversity,
Cause and effect it is only,
   to that shree Guru salutations.
Whose pair of lotus feet,
   the remover of the pair of miseries,
A rescuer always from calamities,
   to shree Guru I bow.
If Shiva is angry the Guru is a savior,
   if the Guru is angry Shiva surely is not one,
Therefore by means of all effort,
   To shree Guru's shelter one should go.
I worship the pair of feet of the Guru,
   within range of speech, mind, and intellect,
Into white and red lusters split,
   of the nature of Shiva and Shakti supreme.
The Gu syllable is beyond the gunas and,
   the Ru syllable is without form,
And one's own natural form beyond the gunas,
   He who can give it is remembered as the Guru.
Without three eyes the witness of all,
   without four arms the Almighty,
Without four faces Brahma,
   shree Guru is said to be, O dear one.
This salutation of folded hands by me is made,
   for the ocean of compassion to increase,
By whose favor a living being,
   from the wonders of samsara is liberated.
Shree Guru's supreme form,
   to the discriminating eye is nectar,
Those of dull fortune do not see,
   just like the blind at sunrise.
