O Mind! Listen carefully to some reflections on the entity known as the Guru. The verse, guṁ rautīti guruḥ tells us that he who erases ignorance is the Guru. Even though the Vedas and other scriptures declare that the Guru and God are one entity, and that one can attain the bliss of divine love by the grace of either of these two, nevertheless, O mind you need to be aware of a secret. That is, that Śhyāmsundar (Shri Krishna) can never be attained without the Guru’s grace.”
