Meditate On Guru, Verse 5

[Guest guest]

Preamble: For those who cannot meditate upon Guru

in the highest method, Swamiji is initiating them for

worshipping Guru in His physical body.

 

Verse 5

 

Praatah shirasi shuklaabje dwinetram dwibhujam Gurum /

Varaabhayakaraam shaamtam smaaret tannaama poorvakam /

Prasanna vadanaambhojam sarvadeva swaroopinam /

Tat paadodaka jaam dhaaraam nipatamteem swamoordahani

/

Tayaa samkshaalayet baahyamamamtaram daihikam malam /

Tatkshanaat vrajo martyo jayate sphatikopamah //

 

Everyday in the morning soon after one wakes up, one

should imagine a white thousand-petalled lotus on top

of his head and meditate upon it. Your Guru should be

imagined to have seated on that lotus. You have to

see through your mind's eye His eyes, hands and the

reassuring gestures of His hands with a peaceful

face. You will gradually understand the inherent

meaning in imagining Guru in such a way.

 

During the course of this meditation, the name of the

Guru should be chanted as the great spell in another

part of the mind. All the images of all deities

should be imagined as dwelling in Him and seen.

Seeing that form slowly the ablutions at His feet

should be offered with pure water. You should imagine

that flow of water is falling on your head and

flowing through it washing away all the impurities

within and without its stream. If you do that all,

the impurities will indeed leave you at the very

moment and the qualities of Rajas and Tamas will be

destroyed. There will be no sin either in your gross

or subtle body. You will shine like a pure crystal in

all your Sattvik temperament.

 

All of you should meditate every morning as soon as

you wake up.
