Guru Geeta - Datta Vaakya - 31
✍️ Sri GS Swami ji
📚. Prasad Bharadwaj
Every morning upon waking up, a white lotus with a thousand petals should be visualized upon the head. Sadguru should be visualized as being seated inside the lotus.
While doing this, the name of Guru should be chanted. In the mind’s eye, Guru’s feet, eyes, and hands showing the gestures of protection and beneficence, and his peaceful countenance should be visualized.
It should be believed that Guru encompasses everything, as if he manifests as the entire Universe. When you see a cow, all the deities should manifest in it.
Similarly in Guru all divinities should be visible. Every single moment this thought should be preserved.
Guru’s feet should be washed with pure water and it should be felt as if that water is flowing down all over you, cleansing you from top to bottom, inside and out, of all impurities. Visualize it as a flow of nectar that is clearing away all the dirt. This is a yoga procedure.
When this is done, in that very instant along with all the impurities, the Rajo Guna and Tamo Guna will also get washed away from the spiritual seeker. Both the gross body and the subtle body get purified of all sins.
Like clear crystal, the spiritual aspirant will feel absolutely clean. Every morning this exercise should be performed. This is an excellent process. We have already said that the Guru’s feet, eyes, and hands should be visualized.
The reason for doing that is given in the following verse:
Verse: Teerthaani …
In the right foot of Guru all sacred pilgrimage centers and holy rivers are contained.
His face is itself the Veda. When his face is visualized, the fruit of having chanted all the Vedas is obtained. His feet and hands are permeated with the nectar of immortality.
By the mere glance of Guru and the touch of his hands, that nectar of Yoga flows into and is absorbed by the devotee. This should be remembered again and again.
