GG Vs 137 - Reciting Guru GIta while seated upon wood bears no fruit.

[Guest guest]

Now we learn what is the best seat to be used in reciting the Guru Gita. Today verse -

 

" By reciting while sitting on a cloth, one becomes best with

affliction. Sitting on a stone gives rise to sickness. By sitting

on the earth, one becomes pained, and upon wood bears no fruit."

Kalia,

The next several verses, in the series about SEAT, are interesting. It

seems that perhaps the energy/vibration of the seat is important. What

draws energy away, what gives energy and what kind of energy, what is

supportive or not for the practice. I can intuit stone, earth and wood,

but do not really understand "cloth". Perhaps it is the context of my

reading.

Kalia,

 

I've never really understood this verse. I wonder if you would forward

to Swamiji for his consideration.

 

Swamiji,

 

I wonder if you could explain this verse for me, For instance, I do

not understand why sitting on a cloth will produce affliction, and

sitting on wood produces no fruit.

 

Thank you so much.

 

Jai Maa!

Chris

>From visiting the Mandir I have come to realise that the seat is very

important. Senior devotees and indeed Beloved Gurujis, always fold

their asans away when not in use, and asans are not shared, hence,

your point on the energy/vibration of the seat is well taken. A mere

cloth might not be conducive to retaining the vibrations like the

tiger skin and blanket.

I have forwarded Chris' question on this verse to Swamiji, lets see

whether our understanding on "cloth" becomes any clearer from His

response otherwise we can ask the direct question.

Thanks very much for responding.
