Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Jaya Guru Datta Shri GuruBhyo Namaha OM NAMAH SHIVAYA Sri Sachchidanandeswaraya Namaha from the last week let us recap: " Dhruvam tesam ca sarvesam .......... " Pujya Sri Swamiji explains that when one says he is giving,one is offering some'thing' which the receiver does not have. This statement implies that Guru 'needs' something that He does not possess.Is that accurate ? Are we saying that when devotees 'give' to Guru,then Sadguru becomes Purna,becomes full,becomes complete. No,when we He accepts our pure Self that is the true offering. Sri Swamiji further explains. this week: " Aasanam shayanam vastran vaahanam bhusanaadikam Saadhakena pradaa-tavyam Guro-santosa kaaranam " Seats,cots,clothes,vehicles,ornaments are some of the things which should be offered to Guru for they are the means to please him. In the preceeding lines Pujya Sri Swamiji has dealt on the offerings to Guru.But is it so easy for those who are entangled in the enticements of actions ? No,certainly not.Then what to do? This is a question. There is another question too. Are you pure or impure ? You are struggling in the shackles of actions and so you can't call yourself a purified moving spirit; so if you offer yourself along with the troublesome actions,does it mean that he should accept you along with your sinful actions and suffer himself ? It means that for the simple reasoning of your offering yourself,he has to suffer in experiencing them and undergo the ordeal of reducing the weight of your actions ? Will it not be a fact that all the essence of his virtues get tainted on account of his allowing you to merge in Him ? Should you do then such an offering which leads Him to such dangerous consequences ? Even if you do,will he accept ? Lord Shiva (father of the Universe) speaking to Devi Parvati (Mother of the Universe),reciting this Holy Guru Gita,not only on this MahaShivaraatri but in a never ending dialogue gives a solution to both these questions. First you should purify yourself and reduce the weight of your actions gradually.Begin to offer your Guru small things.On account of this the bondages of your actions will gradually be severed.To that extent the process of your purifivation picks up momentum. Increase these offerings gradually. Repeat the direct adoration and worship to Guru. In the course of that,one day you will attain a mature and purified state when you can do total offering.It means that you will attain to the level of sacrificing yourself.Your getting to that state and his acceptance of your offering will take place sinultaneously.
