Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Meditation on Guru Verse 3 part 2 In what form does He (Guru) appear? In the form of a man? In the form of a god? With beard? tonsured? or how? Here all the attributes of the Guru elucidate his supreme nature. So He appears as a personification of the same. Universe means name and form. The Guru is the cause of that universe which means that it emerges from him. So the whole world is in his image just like the bangles, rings, and chains that come out of gold. So He has several bodies. Some keep a small idol and say that He is their Guru. It is not correct as all bodies belong to him. All of us can't live completely independent. For that matter, we can't also die independently. Nature is not in our control. Let alone Nature, the mind forces us to act against our will. Then where is liberty? But the Guru is not like that. He is absolutely free. He can keep control over himself, also on the whole world. How is this possible? It is so because He is everything. Since He possesses all these qualities, He is the personification of Bliss. In other words, he is a mass of happiness. Those who worship him, naturally attain that Bliss. That bliss is auspicious, infinite, absolute, all pervading and omniscient. In the parlance of 'Saastras' it is called AKHAMDA CHIDGHANA RASAM' (the quintessence of the sublime bliss). It is the true quality of the Guru and he appears when chanted with the 'Guru Mantra' in that form.
