Guruvakyam
The rarity of true disciples necessitates a path of absolute purity. Guru-vākya is rare, understood only by devotees. Rare disciples exist, so one must be careful when becoming a guru. Disciples are tested; most are fall overs, not true jewels. The supreme self as sound resides everywhere but is realized only through practice like Anuṣṭhāna and Nāda Yoga. Success in Nāda Yoga requires purifying the body. Purify language by not speaking negatively about anyone for twelve years. Purify the body to attain Dev Bani, the voice of the goddess. Spirituality means purity through body, mind, words, and behavior. Anuṣṭhāna purifies the unconscious, subconscious, and conscious minds to enter the superconscious.
"How dear it is to me. The words, the Guruvākyam, all I know. Others will not understand."
"Purify your body, and then you will attain the second level of your body, which is called Dev Bani."
