Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Sri Gurubhyo Namaha Jaya Guru Datta ( Peoceedure for Meditating Upon the Guru ) Preamble: Now it is explained why Guru should be meditated upon. " Namaami Sadgurum shaantam pratyaksa Shivarupinam Shirasaa yoga pitatham mukti kaamyartha siddhaye " Guru is the form of peace,the direct image of Shiva installed at the altar of Yoga Before such true Guru, I bow down reverentially for redemption. The true Guru is the image of Shiva,but here 'Shiva' doesn't convey the ordinary sense. It means liberation. By whose Grace all illusions and turbulent passions get pacified affording peace of mind,such a Guru should be worshipped.Where should he be installed and meditated upon? In the MIND. on the thousand-petalled lotus at the altar of Yoga. Why all this? For the fulfillment of which want ? We might be having crores (hundreds of thousands) of desires,but no desire has an end and it's fulfillment doesn't gratify us,soon another desire springs up.it also meets the same course.In this process,when each desire sees it's end the last one will be salvation. ..And that (desirs) becomes the greatest--(that is what the Mind leads us to believe). When we get it,there is nothing else that we crave for. It is only for salvation that we ought to meditate upon Guru.At the same time,none should ask for petty desires.When a great treasure is destined to be yours,should you stretch your hand meanly for a small amount of change ? Sri Guru Datta P.S : ( we are still in the introduction stage,we have'nt yet started the actual verses ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
