108 Sutras for Awakening
“I bow to my Guru, who exists to reveal the truth, who ceaselessly shines like the sun to light our way, and who opens our hearts to love all those who are dear to us.
It is the Guru who illuminates the mind, not the mind that illuminates the Guru. I bow to my Guru who is the supreme witness of waking, dreaming and deep sleep states.
One whose mind is filled with thought, knows not; one whose mind is silent, knows everything. I bow to the Guru, who is one with the Absolute.
Goddess Parvati, only the Guru can remove the fear of aging and the dread of death.
The Guru offers protection to his disciples, even if they are cursed by the sages, demons or gods.
If Shiva is angry, the Guru protects you. If Vishnu is angry, the Guru saves you. But if the Guru is angry, there’s nowhere to hide. Therefore strive to the utmost to take refuge in the Guru’s grace.
