Pradyumna has given me the following explanation, which i would like to

share:

 

"...Dharma and adharma were never said to be "imaginary" by any means --

those who "oppose" dharma are certainly creating difficulties for themsevles

-- one who is in consonance with that inherent reality cannot be opposed to

dharma; indeed, it is they who define dharma. To worry about being a sinner

and not sinning -- is selfish -- you are protecting yourself, and creating

another pocket of security. Only he who cares not for himself, can ever be

free and such a person naturally acts dharmically -- not forced, as I

explained earlier! ..."

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Dear Karen,

 

It is verse 5 of the procedure for meditating upon

 

the Guru in Sri Guru Gita.

 

(dattapeetham publication)

 

Sri Guru Datta,

 

Win

 

..

 

..

 

 

 

 

Praatah shirasi shuklaabje dwinetram dwibhujam Gurum / Varaabhayakaraam shaamtam

smaaret tannaama poorvakam / Prasanna vadanaambhojam sarvadeva swaroopinam / Tat

paadodaka jaam dhaaraam nipatamteem swamoordahani / Tayaa samkshaalayet

baahyamamamtaram daihikam malam / Tatkshanaat vrajo martyo jayate sphatikopamah

//

 

Everyday in the morning soon after one wakes up, one should imagine a white

thousand-petalled lotus on top of his head and meditate upon it. Your Guru

should be

imagined to have seated on that lotus. You have to see through your mind's eye

His eyes, hands and the reassuring gestures of His hands with a peaceful face.

You will gradually understand the inherent meaning in imagining Guru in such a

way.

 

During the course of this meditation, the name of the Guru should be chanted as

the great spell in another part of the mind. All the images of all deities

should be imagined as dwelling in Him and seen. Seeing that form slowly the

ablutions at His feet should be offered with pure water. You should imagine

that flow of water is falling on your head and flowing through it washing away

all the impurities within and without its stream. If you do that all, the

impurities will indeed leave you at the very moment and the qualities of Rajas

and Tamas will be destroyed. There will be no sin either in your gross or

subtle body. You will shine like a pure crystal in all your Sattvik

temperament. All of you should meditate every morning as soon as you wake up.
