Attitude & Conduct towards guru - II .. contd

Attitude & Conduct towards guru - II .. contd

yasmin dravye gurorasti spRhA nAnubhavettu tat | 
avashyaM yadi vAJchA syAdanubhUyAttadAjJayA || 

yastilArddhaM tadarddhaM vA gurusvamupajIvati |
lobhAnmohAt sa pacyeta narake ca trisaptake ||

Never partake an object which has been coveted by guru. If it is definitely needed, then take the permission of the guru to attain it.

If out of greed or desire, a disciple tries to sustain himself on the guru’s property equal to even one half of the sesamum or even one fourth of it , then he will rot in hell for 21 years

atyalpaM hi gurordravyamadattaM svIkaroti yaH |
sa tiryag yonimApannaH kravyAdairbhakShyate priye ||

gurudravyAbhilAShI ca gurustrIgamanotsukaH |
patitasya kShullakasya prAyashcittaM na vidyate ||
A disciple will attain the womb of animal and will be devoured by vultures if he partakes the dravya of the guru without the same being given to him by the guru, howsoever small in quantity the dravya may be.

An adulterous, wretched disciple who covets the belongings of the guru or lusts after the guru’s women has no way out of his sins as there is no expiation or atonement for this sin.

AjJAbhaGgo'rthaharaNaM gurorapriyavarttanam |
gurudrohamidaM prAhuryaH karoti sa pAtakI ||

svadravyaviniyogaJca nAnivedya gurau caret |
anivedya tu yaH kuryAt sa bhaved brahmaghAtakaH ||

Disobedience towards the guru, thieving of the guru’s belongings and acting in a manner inviting displeasure of the guru are construed as ‘gurudroha’ i.e. perfidiousness towards the guru. A disciple who does these is a wretched criminal

The apportionment of one’s own property if done without first being offered to the guru, is akin to brahminicide.

guroH sthAnaM sampradAyaM taddharmaM yo vinAshayet |
gurubhiH sa bahiShkAryo daNDyo vadhyaH sa ghAtakaiH ||

gurukopAdvinAshaH syAd gurudrohAttu pAtakam |
vimRtyugurunindAyAM gurvaniShTAnmahApadaH ||

jIvedagnipraviShTo vA naraH pItaviSho'pi vA |
mRtyuhastagato vApi nAparAdhakaro guroH ||

A disciple is fit to be exiled and punished by the guru if he happens to destroy the property of the guru, or his sampradAya or dharma.

The guru’s wrath leads to destruction; perfidiousness towards the guru invites grave sin, insult to guru invites mRtyu or death and displeasure of the guru leads to grave dangers

Even if one enters fire or drinks poison or enters the clutches of death, he will survive if he is faithful towards guru and does not in any manner offend him.
