In this discourse Anandamurti | In this discourse Anandamurti amplifies the meaning of the [[Guru Vandana]] verses. Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Guru is ''Brahma'', ubiquitous and transcendent. ''Jiivas'' (unit beings) want to come in contact with the Infinite Entity, and for that purpose He manifests Himself in the form of Guru. Anandamurti then explains that the Guru uses His ''shalaka'' (stick) to wake up spiritual knowledge in those struck with darkness and slumber. Anandamurti goes on explaining that Guru is the expression of Supreme Consciousness; He is ''Visnu'' (all pervading), He is ''Maheshvara'' (controlling all manifestations), and He is ''Parama Brahma'' (witnessing everything). We offer salutations to Guru, and we surrender to Him.<ref name="AV3"/> | ||
