Guru Gita is a profound text which describes a conversation between Lord Shiva and Parvati. She asks him to teach her about the Guru and liberation. Shiva describes the Guru principle, the proper ways of worshiping the Guru and the methods and benefits of repeating the Guru Gita. Sri Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath unravels this Guhyat Guhyatara Vidya (wisdom more mysterious than the mysterious) in this commentary.
The following words of his capture the essence of Guru Principle: "What if you have yet to experience anything spiritual? After all you have had your Guru. As soon as you have the Guru, you cease to be narrow, little, limited, caged self- so soon indeed your body, family, property, all becomes Guru's. One is free the moment one sits at the Guru's feet. Instantly with initiation comes emancipation. The purpose of sadhana is only to realise this great truth, to be aware of the phenomenon."
