Session-9: Verses 106 to 145

The Guru is the source of all inspiration and the renewal of energy. Whenever we feel depleted, the loving remembrance of the Guru will uplift us and inspire us to move forward. The Guru’s Grace is the consecrated offering by which the soul is perceived. Swamiji says, “You can’t perceive your soul without Grace, and you can’t get Grace without doing something. By means of this path, the wisdom of one’s soul rises.” Swamiji also explains the inner meaning of liberation in the consecrated offering, the sacred syllables, and in form.
