Invocation of the Divine and the Guru
The invocation of the divine and the guru is the foundation of spiritual practice.
This sacred call establishes the connection to the supreme consciousness and the realized master who embodies it. It is an act of devotion and surrender, aligning the seeker with the highest truth. The repetition of divine names and titles affirms their presence and grace. It acknowledges the guru as a living conduit to the absolute. This practice purifies the mind and creates a sanctified space for spiritual work. It is the essential first step, honoring the source of all wisdom and power.
