GG verse 158 - Reciting the Guru Gita, all places become pure

[Guest guest]

Here's our verse today -

 

158. He actually becomes the Guru, and always the knower of the

Supreme Divinity. Wherever he may go, all places become pure without

a doubt.

 

Please share your thoughts and keep the bhav of this Song, this Song which proclaims Guru as King.

 

Pranams.

Kalia,

 

This, to me, is a very hopeful and beautiful verse. It extolls the

beauty and grace of the guru, and at the same time reminds us, in the

midst of our personal struggles, that this is the future that awaits us.

 

Jai Maa!

Chris

"actually becomes the Guru". One could, and maybe

should, take this to mean, the true disciple becomes

one with their Guru. Full on discipleship is to live

the example of the Guru fully, so much so that one is

merged with the Guru. The verse seems to point toward

the ultimate attainment, and the cost of such

attainment is to fully lose oneself in love.

 

Beloved Guru Ji,

Let us become "lost at last". Let us swim in the waves

of devotion, of love for our beloved. Let us lose

ourselves in God forever.

 

Jai Maa, Jai Swami Ji!

where is the Guru? this is center of everything, so there is no place

you can look that is not you. there is no place that separates you

from you.

 

when you are there, there is no guru that is elsewhere, you are That.

 

at that point, your devotions can't be enhanced by reminders of the

deity, because you are within That.

 

"always the knower" means, there is no time in that timelessness, not

only space but time are also compressed into now and here. it does not

mean "he/she became the Guru in 1985 until he/she dropped the body,"

that example is a secondary, dualistic interpretation. meditators

disireing the infinite wish to get past that level of thinking asap.

 

all such statements from the gitas are sepcifically designed to move

us beyond mind-generated limitation, not to lock one into lines of

social obedience. the yogi is free, even of himself, even of any human

form, he obeys only GOD. jai maaaaaaaa!

Nirmala,

 

Yes! Your perspective adds wonderful depth to this beautiful verse.

One need only look at Mother and Swmaiji to see the truth in what you

have said. Each of them reflect their respective gurudevas beautifully.

 

Jai Maa!

Lovely comment, Steve, on the Knowing of the gurudeva.

 

I haven't read further yet, so I don't know who else has responded,

but isn't it interesting that while I wrote a general statement on the

entire verse, Nirmalananda was inspired to comment on the Becomming

part, and you were inspired to comment on the Knowing?

 

Jai Maa!
