" Aapaadamauli paryantam Gurunaam aakrutim smaret

 Tena vighnaha pranashyanti siddhyanti ca manorathaha "

 

(continuation of explanation):

 

The moment you see Sri Swamiji,you should observe His type of footwear as there

is significance and a particular message in his wearing them.It indicates which

deity he is inviting into Him on that particular day.It doesn't just mean a

casual choice of His foot-wear and dress.

 

Some meditate upon Guru from top to toe.This is another method.But one should

not indulge in meditation beginning from the middle as it amounts to the

skipping like that of a monkey.One should not look at the Guru in that wavering

manner.

 

When you begin any work,you should first meditate upon your true Guru in a

complete manner.Then no obstacles stand in your way and all your wants will be

fulfilled.

 

In this way,Swamiji teaches the method of meditating upon Guru before His

discourse on the Guru Gita.
