✍️ Sadguru Ganapathi Sachidananda📚. Prasad Bharadwaj
Sloka: yajno vratam tao danam japa stirtham tathaiva ca sarvesa meva jantunam sarve marga pratarakah
Rituals of the highest order (Yagnas), vows (Vratas), penances, worships, pilgrimages, the various path-ways for Sadhana (yogic practice) are all deceptive if one doesn’t concentrate upon one’s Guru.
It means that he who doesn’t bear devotion to the Guru will be confronted with evil effects in his yogic practice.
Sloka: Japa stapo vratam tirtham yajno danam tathaiva ca Gurutatva mavijnaya sarvam vyartham bhavet priye
Siva proceeds to say to Parvati that if one does not know the quality of Guru, all ritualistic practices, prayers, penances etc are all useless.
We consider ourselves very knowledgeable thinking “I’m a great scientist” or “I am wellversed in the Vedas” or “I did a lot of rigorous study”, or “I’m a great artist”. There are people that say, “I worked very hard, I worked for 5 years to earn this degree”.
But, what is Knowledge? Science, arts and the like comprise a kind of knowledge. Similarly, Vedas, Puranas and scriptures also comprise a kind of knowledge.
However, Science helps us understand and see things that are very far away, but it cannot help you see your inner self. Science tells you about several planets in the outer space. It also tells you about the precious stones and elements buried deep in the earth.
People that know a lot about this are considered great scientists. But, remember that Science cannot help you see or understand your inner self.
Not only that, it actually takes you even farther away from your self, because all this knowledge makes you egoistic. You think you’ve earned a lot of great knowledge.
