One question, do these verses mean that we shouldn’t think so much, and just accept? Is this what's called Surrender unto Guru. Or do we still 'think' and contemplate. Or does it mean yes I accept everythign Guru says, and I'll reseach more into the Subject [in the Foliobase!] ?

 

 

It is said in the Svetasvatara Upanisad (6.23):

 

yasya deve para bhaktir yatha deve tatha gurau

tasyaite kathita hy arthah prakasante mahatmanah

 

All the confidential purports of the Vedas are fully revealed

to that great soul who has the same para-bhakti for his

Gurudeva as he has for Sri Bhagavan.

 

 

 

In relation to sanga, Hari-bhaktisudhodyaya

(8.51) says:

 

yasya yat-sangatih pumso manivat syat sa tad-gunah

sva-kularddhye tato dhiman sva-yuthany eva samsrayet

 

Just as a jewel reflects the colors of objects around it, similarly,

a persons nature becomes like that of those with whom
