I am moving and not able to post very much ...but this verse of the Guru Gita has always been my favorite. I have read it translated in this way (slightly different): "I bow to (the Guru, who is) the highest being and who is of the form of this world, from Brahma to a blade of grass, (everything) moveable and immovable". This verse of the Guru Gita reminds me so much of my other favorite scriptural quote...from Chandi Path: "Jum Sah, Jvalaya, Jvalaya, Jvala, Jvala, Prajvala, Projvala, Jvala, Ham, Sam, Lam, Ksam, Phat, Svaha (Swamiji's translation: Pure Consciousness, Flame, bright light of illumination, Burning, blazing, shining, Beginning to blaze or flash forth!...(and this) Illuminiation (is the) Divine I in all manifested beings (to) the end of existence without a doubt I am One with God!" I have held these two verses of scripture in my heart for a long time...they both seem to reveal the same profound truth about incarnation...that the Divine Consciousness, the pure "I" , residing in each of us as the guru, also resides in every created thing! We are all sparks of this pure illumination! When i remember these two verses, the entire created world flashes out in a glorious revelation of Pure Bliss! Amazing! a blade of grass! a rock! a bird! me! an insect! a leaf! all "containers" of Pure Consciousness, blazing forth "to the end of existence". I think about Dattatreya with his 21 gurus: spiders and snakes and ants and water and even human beings....and how he was liberated through really experiencing the truth of these verses...it's a huge inspiration to me! best regards, sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Sadhvi, For me, it is one of a list of statements given out by Shree Maa on New Year a few years back. She said "The attitude of godliness resides in all creation." It's very pleasant when I become aware that some aspect of nature seems to recognize me on occasion (I'm probably losing my mental balance). Good luck with your move... Jai Maa!
