Devotion to guru
shrInAthacaraNAmbhojaM yasyAM dishi virAjate |
tasyAM dishi namaskuryAt bhaktyA pratidinaM priye ||
A disciple should, with great devotion prostrate daily towards the direction in which the shrI guru resides. Here I would like to mention that the disciple is duty bound to visit the guru daily if he resides at place near his guru and at specific intervals with reference to the distance from the guru. Notwithstanding anything as above, the shiShyA is required to daily prostrate towards the direction of the guru, face that direction and do his nityanuShTAna-s.
na pAdukAparo mantro na devaH shrIguroH paraH |
na hi shAktAt parA dIkShA na puNyaM kulapUjanAt ||
There is no greater mantra than the pAdukA and there is no greater deity than one’s guru, there is no greater dIkShA than the ShAkta and no greater virtue than the kulapUjA

The guru is the root for everything: his physical form is the root for meditation his lotus feet are the root for worship, the words uttered by him form the root of mantra and his blessings and compassion is the root for salvation.
O! kulanayike, in this world, the root of all actions is the guru. Hence, for the sake of final emancipation, the guru should be worshipped with devotion.
The guru’s blessings alone form the root of the auspicious mantra endowed with all the siddhis that leads to the supreme reality.

tadA mukto bhavecchiShyastato nAsti punarbhavaH ||
tAvadArAdhayecchiShyaH prasanno'sau yadA bhavet |
gurau prasanne shiShyasya sadyaH pApakShayo bhavet ||
The guru when pleased and satisfied with the shiShya initiates him. The disciple should in turn, please the guru with devotion, wealth and his own life.
At the very moment when the guru offers himself to the shiShya he escapes from the cycles of birth and death. It should be understood that by way of dIkShA, the guru installs his own chaitanya inside the disciple. The shiShya is expected to identify himself/herself with the guru totally.
A disciple should worship the guru and please him with his devotion. When the guru is pleased, the disciple’s sins are annihilated.

The devoted disciple of the shrIguru gets all his desires fulfilled, even those which he would not have even dreamt of.
DevatA-s like Brahma, viShNu & mahesha and the great sages are no doubt pleased and bless the disciple when his guru is pleased with him
