Guru is Brahma
The value lies in singular focus and the grace found at the Guru's feet. Having one sacred image or mantra prevents confusion, especially at the moment of death. Collecting many pictures or mantras dilutes their power, like inflation devaluing currency. True devotion is shown through profound respect for a single point of focus. The Guru's guidance, though sometimes challenging, is always correct. The Guru's physical form, particularly the feet, is a profound source of grace and liberation. Sacred relics like nail clippings or sand from the Guru's footsteps are considered the highest prasāda, carrying transformative power for the devoted disciple. This devotion is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and ultimate liberation.
"Imagine in the moment of our death, what will be? If we are also repeating so many mantras from so many masters, in the moment of our death, it will be a mishmash."
"Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru padam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā."
