Verses 146 to the 182 divulge the secret to living with God, and explain the fruits of reciting the Guru Gita. When we treat the Guru as we would want to treat God, then we receive the blessing of living with God. When we chant the Guru Gita with the desire for liberation, we will get liberation. When we recite with a worldly desire, the desire will be fulfilled by either giving us what we want, or by the removal of the desire. Either way, the Guru Gita acts as the Cow which fulfills all wishes.

The Guru is the source of all inspiration and the renewal of energy. Whenever we feel depleted, the loving remembrance of the Guru will uplift us and inspire us to move forward. The Guru’s Grace is the consecrated offering by which the soul is perceived. Swamiji says, “You can’t perceive your soul without Grace, and you can’t get Grace without doing something. By means of this path, the wisdom of one’s soul rises.” Swamiji also explains the inner meaning of liberation in the consecrated offering, the sacred syllables, and in form.

Session-9: Verses 106 to 145

In verses 91 to 105 of the Guru Gita, Swamiji explains that “cit” is pure consciousness and “citta” consists of the objects of awareness, such as buddhi (objective knowledge) and mana (subjective knowledge). The Guru wears all white, which represents purity and the absence of all opinions. Swamiji asks, “Can you see the Guru as the Soul of All that is Knowable? Can you treat every atom of creation with the same respect as you would want to treat your Guru?” Love the Guru everywhere! There is no other path to realize God.
