surrendering everything to Guru.

 

Verse 27

 

Swaashramamcha swajaatimcha

swakirtim pushtivardhanam /

Etat sarvam parityajya

Gurumeva samaashrayet //

 

One should leave one's caste, position, abode, fame,

power, wealth, etc. and seek Guru's grace. If Guru is

not there, these things cannot give any knowledge of

the Absolute. Here there is mention of power and

wealth that accrue to man. The four traditional

castes or Varnas and the four stages of a man's life

beginning with celibacy and if all these were to be

left out, what does it mean? It means that love for

all these things should be directed towards Guru You

should think that Guru is the most important of all of

them.
