Re: Gurudeva-Isvara-Naam Prabhu Song

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Bhajan Rahasya by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Chapter 2 (removal of offences) Text 13

SB 11.2.37

bhayam dvitiyabhinivesatah syad

isad apetasya viparyayo smrtih

tan-mayayato viparyayo smrtih

bhaktyaikayesam guru-devatatma

The jiva who is averse to Bhagavan forgets his own constitutional nature because of his association with maya. Due to this forgetfullness, he becomes absorbed in the conception that he is the material body and thus thinks 'I am a demigod'. 'I am a human being'. In this state of bdily identification, he fears old age, disease and so forth. Therefore those who know the truth should consider their own guru as isvara, the Supreme. In other words they should see him as their master who is non-different from Bhagavan and who is very dear to Him. Through exclusive devotion they should perform one-pointed worship of that isvara, their guru.

aspiring service...Nava.
