Honouring the Guru

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

During these days leading up to Guru Purnima on 10 July, i will post verses from the Guru

Gita and the Bhagavad Gita in honour of the teachers of Divinity.

 

Both Parvati (Guru Gita) and Arjuna (Bhagavad Gita), perfect disciples, are seeking the path

or right actions appropriate to becoming one with Supreme Divinity.

 

Beloved Swamiji says that by reciting the Gita one becomes a renunciate or Tyagi which is

the Gita (gi-tya).

 

=============

Guru Gita - vs 21, Isvara says:

 

"Not contemplating anything other than Me, makes attainment of the highest status easy.

Therefore, all efforts should be made to please the Guru."

 

Bhagavad Gita - Chap 3 vs 30, Krsna says:

 

"With full renunciation, fix your conciousness in spiritual knowledge perfoming all actions

for Me, Becoming free from desire, free from attachment, fight this disease of darkness."

 

The Guru is Supreme Divinity, contemplating the Guru with love and devotion in all

actions, a seeker of divinity gives the best possible.

 

Please share your thoughts?

 

Jai Guru

Dear Kalia,

 

thank you for this wonderful seva, which prepares our minds and hearts

for Guru Gita.

 

The comment I would like to make is that Shree Maa's advice, posted a

few days ago, to immediately resort to japa when confronted with

whatever threatens to take you off course, strikes me as very relevant

to these verses. When confronted with temptations, it is often

difficult to direct the mind to God, but just repeating the Divine

Name, even if at first the thoughts are still going beserk, does take

you back to center. So even if we do not succeed yet in always

contemplating the Guru with love and devotion, we can hang on to the

Name.

 

"hang on to the Name with all your might,

set your ships to sea"

 

JAI GURU JAI MAA JAI SWAMIJI
