Guru Gita –
chapter
2
Api Sampoorna Tatwagyo, Guru Tyaagee
Bhavedyadha
Bhavatyeva Hi Tasyaanta, Kaale Vikshepa Mulkatam
Even if one is the perceiver of all principles, if he becomes the
forsaker of Guru, there will be great derangement at the time of his
end.
Munibhih Pannagairvaapi, Surairvaa Shapito
Yadi
Kaalamrityu Bhayaadwaapi, Guruh Samtraati Paarvati!
Oh, Parvati! Guru saves a person, even if cursed by the sages,
snakes or gods. Guru saves one even from the fear of death.
Ashakhtaahi Suraadhyashcha, Hyashakhtaah
Munayastadhaa
Guru shaapopapannasya, Rakshanaaya Cha Kutrachil
Even the gods and the sages are incapable of saving one who is
cursed by Guru, wherever he is indeed.
Vijaananti Mahaavaakyam, Guroh charana
Sevayaa
Te Vai Sanyaasina Proktho, Itare Vesha Dhaarinah
Those who know the meaning of great principles through service at
the feet of Guru are only called Sanyasis. Others are attired with
the clothes (of a sanyasi).
Guru Prasaadatah Swaatmani, Atmaaraama
Nireekshanaal
Samataa mukhtimaargena, Swam aatmagyaanam Pravartate
By the grace of Guru, a person see his own self, submerged in the
bliss of Supreme God and attains in Guru equipoise of mind, which is
the path of liberation. Knowledge of the Self works thus.
Nityambrahma rasam Peetwa, Tripto yah
Paramaatmani
Indrancha Manyate Rankam, Nripaanaam Tatra Kaa Kadhaa ?
Guru, who is contented in Supreme God, drinking always the nectar of
god consciousness, considers even Indra, the lord of gods, as a
pauper. Then what is there in the case of kings?
Yadypyadheena Nigamaah, Shadanganyaagamah
Priye!
Adhyaatmadeeni Shaastraani, Gyaanam Naasthi Gurum Vina
Oh, Dear! Even if all Vedas are learnt along with the six-fold Vedic
sciences, and also rituals and other spiritual and philosophical
doctrines, 'self knowledge' cannot be gained without Guru.
Guru Heenah Pashu Keetah, Patango
vaktumarhati
Shivaruupam Swaruupam Cha, Na Jananthi Yahaswayam
A person without Guru does not know his own 'self', which is in the
form of bliss. Such a man, without Guru, can be called a beast,
insect or bird.
Tasmaal Sarva Prayatnena, Sarva Sanga
Vivarjitah
Vihaaya Shaastra Jaalaani, Gurumeva Samaashrayel
Therefore, with all efforts, devoid of attachments and steering
clear from the thick of doctrines, one should take refuge in Guru
only.
Gyaana Heeno Guru Styajyo, Mithya Vaadee
Vidambakam
Swa Vishraantim Na Jaanaati, Para Shaantim Karoti Kim?
The Guru, who is bereft of knowledge, and who proclaims untruth, and
who is a swindler should be discarded. One who does not know his own
rest, how can he help others to attain peace?
Shilaayaah Kim Param Gyaanam, Shila Sangha
Prataarane
Swayam Tartum Na Jaanaati, Param Nistaarayel Kadham ?
What is the knowledge of a rock in taking to the other shore a
cluster of other rocks? How can one help others to swim when he
himself does not know how to swim?
Na Vandaneeyaasthe Kashtam, Darshanaal
Bhraanti Kaarakah
Varjayettan Guroon Doore, Dheerasyatu Samaashrayel
Such people are not be saluted, who are miserable by sight and
creators of delusion. Such gurus should be discarded very far. One
should take refuge only in the courageous.
Paakhandinah Paapa Rataah, Naastika
Bhedabudhayah
Streelambata Duraachaarah, Kritaghnaah Baka Vritayah
Swindlers, sinners, unbelievers, the prejudiced and womanisers, the
corrupt and the dishonest and those who act like a crane (crane sits
silently but gulps down its prey when becomes handy)
Karma Bhrashtaah Kshamaa Nashtaah, Nindya
Tarkaishcha Vaadinah
Kaaminah Krodhinashchaiva, Himsrashchanddah Shattashtadhaa
And those who have lost the path of action and patience, those who
are unyielding and abominable, contentious and quarrelsome, greedy
and wrathful, violent and cruel,
Gyaanaluptah Na Kartavya, Mahaapaapa
Stadhaa Priye
Eabhyo bhinno Guruh Sevyah, Eka Bhaktya Vichaarya Cha
The above categories of people who have lost wisdom and are sinners
should not be accepted as Gurus. Oh Dear! Gurus who are different
from these should be known and served with devotion.
Gooddo Dridaashcha Preetaashcha, Maunena
Susaamaahitah
Sakrit Kaamagatovaapi, Panchadha Guru Reeritah
There are five types of Gurus; The impenetrable; the resolute; the
pleased; the silent and the fulfilled.
Anenayal Bhavelkaaryam, Tadwadaami Tava
Priye!
Lokopakaarakam Devi!, Laukikamtu Vivarjayel
Oh Dear! I shall tell you the duty to be observed by such seekers.
Oh Goddess! They should endeavour for the welfare of the world, but
at the same time they should discard worldly attachments.
