Focus on The Holy Feet of SatGuru

[Guest guest]

The Feet of Guru

 

SatGuru is the Self. The feet of SatGuru represents

the knowable aspect of Guru, while the remainder is

the formless aspect of Guru, the true Self. By

focusing one's awareness/attention on the feet (an

analogy), one automatically intuits the Guru himself

as the Saakshi of the intellect. This is the last step

in the process of "neti neti" leading to full

knowledge of that inmost knower, the Self. The process

of shifting attention should be distinguished from

inference. The attention when focused on the feet of

that SatGuru, becomes instantly aware of itself. It is

said, continued attention on this, leads to That.

 

To understand what is known, one must understand

perception itself. Drik-Drishya-Viveka leads one to

knowledge of the visible, and intuition of the

formless aspect of the Self.

 

The world is the known, and is thus identical with

consciousness. The Self is its container. Correct

perception is known by the inability to distinguish

the inner from outer. Incorrect perception leads to

body consciousness and the incorrect belief that "I am

the body." Correct perception leads to the conclusion

Aham Brahmasmi (Self is Brahman) and Tat Tvam Asi

(That Thou Art).

 

Guru madhye stitham vishvam

Vishva madhye stitho Guru

 

"Within Guru, the universe is situated.

Within the Universe, the Guru is situated."

 

Correct perception through drik-drishya-viveka leads

to full understanding of the above statement.

 

 

Jai Guru Datta!
