Guru Gita

[Guest guest]

More reflections on the Guru Gita. Each verse could make a whole

discussion...yes?!

 

Thank you Kalia. Verse 112 - I worship true existence, consciousness

and bliss (saccidanandam), beyond all distinctions, always as my

Guru. He is eternal, full, complete and perfect, beyond attributes,

without qualities. He resides in harmony with his own soul.

 

Then in verse 113 - Meditate upon that being who is higher than the

highest. He is the cause of eternal bliss. He resides within the

space of your heart and illuminates the purest clarity.

 

Then 114 goes on to discuss the uniting of So and Ham (nature and

consciousness)through which the individual soul is the reflection of

infinite consconsciousness.

 

The Dalai Lama talks about how rare and special human birth is. How

much rarer and more special then to actually have the opportunity to

meet a true and living Guru....The true Guru is our example, our

guide and indeed can open the door to our own true self. Yet the

True Guru resides within each of us also, in the space of our hearts

and illuminates clarity....and the Guru is in our Mothers and

Fathers and friends and and....resides within all of creation.

 

What is the role of the external Guru? What is Guru Initiation? I

think perhaps at its higher level it about holding up that

mirror...that divine mirror so that we see our Selves...at least a

glimpse....and we then know the goal. The path becomes clear.

 

I hope others want to discuss the Guru Gita. I find it so full so

rich. Jai Satsang. Jai Maa! Jai Guru!
