Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Question from Kalia: Verse 128 says - Oh Goddess, also instructions about the path of the Guru to liberation, devotion to the Guru, as well as meditation, all have been explained." Can you please explain why the path of the guru, devotion to the Guru and meditation are mentioned separately. Thank you for your time. Swamiji's response : They are three aspects which unite: the path, devotion, and meditation. We want to make sure we have all three ingredients.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Kalia, Would you please forward this to Swamiji for further input? Swamiji, I think most of the questions around this verse have to do with `the path of the Guru'. Devotion and meditation are both mentioned frequently, but the path of the Guru is never explicitly defined, yet this verse says, "...instructions...have been explained." So I guess my question is what is the author referring to as `the path of the Guru'? Thank you for your illumination... Jai Maa!
