Gurucharanam
Saranam
Verse 26
Ananya chinthayaa loke, sulabham paramam sukham
Tasmaat sarvaprayatnena guroh aaraadhanam kuru
If
one is able to remain in the world with no other thought, supreme happiness is easily
attained. Therefore, worship Guru by all means.
Is it possible for us
to remain without any thoughts in life? Hundreds of thoughts pass through the
mind every day. Mind can never remain without thoughts. Can the sky be ever
free from clouds? Clouds appear and disappear in the serene sky, but the sky
remains ever unsullied, as an eternal witness, unmoving and as silent as ethereal
quietude. Guru is that Eternal Witness, that unmoving ethereal quietude though
the medium of which alone we can still our thoughts that run amuck. We have to
pin our faith and hopes on that symbol of divine sublimity – the Guru, in order
to experience supreme quietude and happiness. Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Jesus or
Mohammad represented that sublime divinity. They all said in unequivocal terms:
‘Take refuge in Me alone’, ‘I am the Way’ and ‘Believe in the Prophet’.
Therefore, with all efforts, one should move away from the path of demigods, angels
and mediums in that line as all of them bow before the Supreme Guru for
spiritual sustenance. Step into the track of that Omniscient Guru, take refuge
in Him alone and be free from all worries. Guru will take care of you just like
the king, to whom you pay tributes and taxes take care of your security.
