Verse 4

 

Bhagavan sarvadharmajna vrataanam uttamottamam /

Broohi me krupayaa Shambho Guru maahaatmyamadbhutam //

 

Oh God! You are well versed in all Dharmas or

virtues. You grant comfort to all. Thereby you are

called Shambhu. So kindly initiate me into the

supreme ritual and teach me the most astounding

greatness of the Guru.

 

Parvati questions Him: "What is the most potential

Force?" But can there be any distinction between one

power and the other as big and small in the course of

its flow?

 

No. All Power is one and that is the Truth. But

generally power is used either for selfish ends or

for harming others.

 

People become moderate or sattvik by taking sattvik

diet. The instance of an elephant that takes sattvik

food is there before us and its deeds are also

sattvik. It means its energy is used in the sattvik

way.

 

As against this, the tiger's diet is as crude as the

course of its earning. So every ounce of its energy

is used for violence and harming others in a cruel

manner.

 

None of the two shares energy with the other. This is

true of all beings in the world. The power of gods

also is like that. Even if they distribute their

power to others, they do so with the thought of

self. So it is not so much the distribution of power

as discharging of duty.

 

As there is a touch of self of one kind or the other

in all the aforesaid instances, all these powers can't

be the best ones!

 

With total selflessness, unalloyed compassion, the

true Guru alone has the capacity to distribute all his

power to his true and deserving disciples. So that

power alone is the best. Goddess Parvati at first

asked for the personification of the best Power in the

form of Guru. In the second, she clearly asked the

Lord to teach Her the true GURU TATVA.
