The Many Gifts of "Guru Mani", of "The Pearl of Wisdom" - back to outline

The author of this work,  of "Guru Mani", has presented rare materials, like high philosophies, science of acquisition of mystical powers, explanations of the Vedas, and research into the Upanishads, sung in a very simple way that can be understood by everyone today.

In His verses one finds the embodiment of the explanation of all three meanings - literature, music, and drama - shining everywhere.

This Book Shows Us The Eminent Path To Find God - back to outline

The author's objectives are all beyond (lower) human nature, and it can be said that His book shows the eminent path to find God.

In many places the author's profound opinions equal and support those of the
Siththars
(a class of devas).  The meaning in the verses dispel the darkness of the mind, and provides light to spread grace.

They are very subtle, and provide pleasant food for the hearts of the learned, and afford remedy for the minds of the others.

Long Live Guru Bawa!  Long Live His Gracious Gift, "Guru Mani"!

Song By This Disciple of Guru Bawa                                                      - back to outline

1
Every advice for good conduct by Guru Bawa
Is an embodiment of grace, as thou can see.

2                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
He has gifted with grace the bliss of the two worlds,
He has spoken with glory of the exalted bliss,
He has conveyed methods of the path of power,
He has advised control supported by six wisdoms,
He has elucidated the paths within it,
He has told of the breath of sun, moon, and apex,
He has indicated sensual pleasure is yogic substance,
He has mentioned (the) scientific blissful path
That operates through mind, food, and (illusory) life,
He has shown us God in this world of decay
The Primal One who exists in past, present, and future,
He has revealed that man can become Manu-eesan (Man-the-divine).

3                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
So, tread on the path which Guru Bawa guides you,
Realize the main pulse of His teaching,
And stand the way He has preached.

4                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
You will then reach the feet of the Creator,
The Cultured Pearl that Guru Bawa exhibits!

5                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
O Guru the Pearl!  O cultured Pearl!
O glorious Pearl of Wisdom!
O Guru Bawa, purity of bliss!
Those who listen to Your glorious words (of grace)
Will exist forever, will prosper forever,
Will receive Your grace in full measure.

6                                                                                                                                   - back to outline
The Pearls of Wisdom is a necklace
A garland for our minds,
Wisdom's pearl that dispels our darkness,
Sculptured in our minds in indelible words
"Long live Pearl of Wisdom"!
Guru Bawa's gift to us of a necklace of pearls.

7                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
Many a book have we seen in the world
But never a unique book such as this!
If you wish to acquire knowledge,
If you desire bliss of exalted pleasure,
Then treasure this book with care!
