Today we are at verse 110 -"The Guru is the Prasad of grace (defined

as what you do is what you get) by which the individual soul is

perceived. By means of this path of the Guru, the wisdom of

one#8217;s own soul arises."

Dear Kali and All ~ wow! to define the Guru as Prasad ~ this is

immense. Since Prasad is something we physically imbibe and thereby

receive the blessings of both the offering and the Guru, to call the

Guru the Prasad of Grace seems to me that we must imbibe the essence

of the Guru, take the Guru within and thus discover the wisdom of our

individual soul. The emphasis on individual soul here is also very

interesting to me, since so my in Hinduism is defined in terms of

Oneness. I do believe we have individual souls, as sparks of the Sun,

so we are sparks of the Guru, and then we imbibe the Guru's Sunlight

as Prasad and discover our own true Self. What an incredible verse.
