Mahaprabhuji's Mahasamadhi Celebration (4/4)
The essential shelter is found at the Guru's feet, the sole source of grace and liberation.
The root of meditation and liberation is worship of the Guru. All pride in the perishable body and worldly attainments is useless. One must abandon attachment, not the form itself. Time is a devouring serpent; one must learn to bow before God, not only before death. The Guru's shelter removes all worry and fear. Through faith and constant association with saints, one realizes the self is not separate from divine consciousness. The mind must reside at the Guru's feet, giving up the entire world. The true charity is the charity of knowledge. In the Guru's shelter, actions no longer create attachment, and the seeker becomes united with the supreme reality.
"Having come to your shelter, what worry do I have?"
"The root of liberation is the Guru's grace."
