Guru Gita Study Session 17

 

Verse 79. The Lord Said:

 

If Shiva is angry, the Guru will protect you; but if

the Guru is angry, no one can save you. Therefore,

with all your efforts, take refuge in Him.

 

Verse 80.

 

The Guru is, indeed the whole universe. She comprises

Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in Her Being. There is

nothing higher than the Guru. Worship the Guru

devotedly.

 

Verse 81

 

By devotion to the Guru, one obtains knowledge as well

as realization. There is nothing higher than the Guru.

Therefore, the devotees of the Guru should meditate on

Him.

 

Verse 82.

 

Continually serve the Guru with mind and speech. There

is nothing greater than Him. The Vedas describe Him as

‘not this, not this.’ (Neti netti)

 

Verse 83.

 

Even Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva acquired their cosmic

potencies by the Guru’s Grace. The state of final

Aloneness is attained only through service to the

Guru.
