343--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI-- Verse 99 of the Guru Gita

[Guest guest]

Question from Nanda:

Verse 99 says "By means of the path of the intuitive vision of the

Guru, the mind should be made pure. The impermanent and other

divisions should not be a bondage to the soul."

 

What does the "path of the intuitive vision of the Guru" mean ? Does

it mean, by following the Guru's words, since he has the path of

intuitive vision, we become pure ? Or is there a different

interpretation?

 

Also can we say that everything except sadhana comes

under "impermanent and other divisions" ?

 

Thank you for your time. JAI GURU

 

Swamiji's response:

Certainly when the Guru gives instructions he or she is exercising

the path of intuitive vision. This is true by words and example.

When we follow that example or instruction, we become pure.

 

Definitely everything except sadhana is impermanent or divisive. But

then again, when we are truly devotees, there is nothing nothing but

sadhana.

"But [said Swamiji}

then again, when we are truly devotees, there is nothing nothing but

sadhana."

 

Jai Shiva Swamiji! There is nothing but the Guru! [God/Goddess].

Every action is serving the Guru. Every THING [animate or inanimate]

is the Guru. There is nothing but Service to the Guru. How to do we

best serve the Guru? By trying our best to live by His/Her teachings,

which brings us back to? Right! Sadhana! Beloved Swamiji once again

irons out the wrinkles of self-imposed complexity. i bow down with

my whole being to the Guru. YOU dear devotees are the Guru! i bow

down to you again and again! There is nothing but the Guru! Is there

an echo in here? :<)

Jai Chandi Shree Maa! Jai Shiva Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrishna Deva!

Your sister always,

muktimaa
