Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Preamble: Now it is explained why Guru should be meditated upon. Verse 4 Namaami Sadgurum shaamtam pratyaksha Shivaroopinam / Shirasa yoga peetastham mukti kaamyaartha siddhaye // Guru is the form of peace, the direct image of Siva installed at the altar of Yoga. Before such true Guru, I bow down reverentially for redemption. The true Guru is the direct image of Siva, but here Siva doesn't convey the ordinary sense. It means liberation. By whose grace all illusions and turbulent passions get pacified affording peace of mind, such a Guru should be worshipped. Where should he be installed and meditated upon? In the mind, on the thousand- petalled lotus at the altar of Yoga. Why all this? For the fulfillment of which want? We might be having crores of desires, but no desire has an end and its fulfillment doesn't gratify us, soon another desire springs up. It also meets the same course. In this process, when each desire sees its end, the last one will be salvation. And that is the greatest. When we get it, there is nothing else that we crave for. It is only for salvation that we ought to meditate upon Guru. At the same time, none should ask for petty desires. When a great treasure is destined to be yours, should you stretch your hand meanly for a small amount of change?
