Meditating On Guru

 

Verse 3

 

Preamble: Guru is now meditated upon in the form of

charmed holy syllables 'Gu-Ru' and Swamiji shows how

they are assimilated through the path of our

breathing.

 

Hamsaabyaam parivrutta haardakamale shuddhe

agatkaaranam

Vishwaakaara maneka deha nilayam swachchamda

maanamdakam /

Sarvaakaara makhamda chidghana rasam poorna hyanamtam

shubham

Pratyanshaakshara vigraham Guruvaram dhyaayet vibhum

shashvatam //

 

Sri Guru who is the cause of the universe and who has

the image of the universe in Him and who wears several

bodies, who works at will, who is blissful, who is

incarnation of the indivisible One. Embodiment of

sublime knowledge and wisdom, integrated personality,

infinite, auspicious, the very form of the meaning of

the disyllable word, 'Gu-Ru', and the eternal, is to

be worshipped in the purified lotus of the heart with

the revolution of the twin swans of 'HAMSA' and

'SOHAM'

(i.e. through breathing in and out).

 

We all live through the process of inhaling. 'HAMSA"

or the Swan is the symbol of this breathing. One

breath goes inside, but it doesn't come out as it goes

in. It purifies blood in the region of heart and

undergoes self-change before it comes out. So the

swan that goes in is different from the one that comes

out and they are two. The swinging of the swans is

the source of our life. It also purifies the lotus of

our heart.

 

Now let us come to the word 'Guru'. It is a very

powerful spell. The two sacred syllables are the

direct image of that deity, Guru. When the two

syllables are made two swans and sent into the heart

through breathing in and out, then it is alled 'AJAPA'

(chantless worship). One who goes on practicing this

gets not only his heart purified but also the Yogic

heart on his right side.

 

The Guru comes and appears on his own accord before

one who meditates upon him imagining him as the image

of the sacred formula 'GURU' in 'AJAPA' and 'JAPA' (chantful).
