Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Preamble: Guru is described as the personification of Sat, Chit, and Ananda. Verse 51 (Part 1 of 2) Yatsattayaa jagat sattvam Yatprakaasheno bhaayutam / Namdanamcha yadaanamdaat Tasmai Sri Gurave namah // In this book the aforesaid lines summing up the verses (Slokas) 'Namdanamcha yadaanamdaat' are very significant and merit special attention. It says that on account of spreading of the Guru's bliss in the self, this appears to be all pervading in the universe. Is it not strange? How do we know that this is joy and that is sorrow? Where do joy and sorrow come from? In this respect everybody should become self-critical. If joy comes, one feels happy and wishes for its recurrence. But none thinks over as to how joy comes from a sweet meat or wherefrom it comes. People even think that why should anybody argue it doggedly instead of enjoying that joy happily. Similarly when sorrow comes, people cry for its departure, but don't think how it comes. They even say why should anybody think of it repeatedly. No, that is not proper. When sorrow comes, we must dig deep in our mind and trace the cause of it. Then only we know the root of it. We should apply the scissors there. Never will it return to us then. So is the case with joy. We should go to its root, but never wish that it should return again and again. Make a great connection at Personals. http://personals.
