Guru Gita

http://www.yogalifesociety.com/GuruGita.html


100. The essential nature of objects, and the knower of objects - the mind - are worthy of being known.

 One should reflect on the truth that objects of awareness and awareness are identical.

 There is no other way to liberation. 



115. Listen as I describe the state that arises when meditating on the Self.

 Reflect on it as all pervading knowledge and light, the size of a thumb, residing in the heart. 


118. Having become one with Brahman, one may abide anywhere, firm in that realization.  

Just as larvae unfold their true nature as bees by incessantly meditating on the nature of a bee, one who meditates on the Guru as Brahman becomes Brahman. 


119. Meditating on the Guru in this manner, the disciple becomes one with Brahman, and is liberated from

 pinda, pada, and rupa: the force of creation, the movement of the life force, and matter. 

There is no doubt about this.



122. O beautiful One! One experiences liberation when the Divine creative power within is fully awakened, when the life force becomes utterly still, and when one can hear within the mantra of the transcendent Self – Hamsa - repeating by itself. 

One no longer identifies with the physical form and is liberated. But those who go beyond even all these are truly free. 


126. The awakened ones say that having attained the all-knowing state, the embodied soul becomes one with everything. Ever blissful and tranquil, such a one rejoices everywhere. 


127. Moreover, wherever the knower of Brahman lives, that place becomes a vessel for all that is auspicious, good, and holy. O Goddess! Thus I have described to you the characteristics of a liberated being. 



161. One who always repeats the Guru Gita is pure of mind and wise. By merely seeing such a one, rebirth is overcome. 


162. Just as the water of a river merges with the water of the ocean, as milk perfectly merges with milk, clarified butter with clarified butter, the space within a pot with the space outside it, so too, the individual self merges with the Supreme Self. 


163. In this manner, the individual self of the wise one merges with the Supreme Self. Day and night, and in every location, the wise one delights in Oneness. 


164. Thus, the Awakened One always dwells in Supreme Freedom, existing as the embodiment of devotion, and serving all.
