106. செயல் நீங்குதல்.
சாதகரை அதைச் செய், இதைச் செய் என்று போதிப்பவர் குரு ஆக மாட்டார்.
சாதகர் ஏற்கனவே செயல்களால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டு, அமைதியும் ஓய்வும் விரும்புகிறார். அதாவது அவர் செயல்களில் இருந்து நீங்கவே விரும்புகிறார்.
குரு அவரை மேலும் ஏதாவது செய்யச் சொன்னால் அது சாதகருக்கு எவ்வாறு துணை செய்யும்?
அத்தகைய மனிதர் சாதகருக்கு விடுதலை தரமாட்டார். மாறாக அவரை மேலும் பந்தப்படுதுவார்.

Buddha Buddhist Faith, 560 B.C. Holy Scripture: Tipitaka Quotes from: (The Tibetan Book of the Dead)
First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica] Wonderful and delightful though they are, The Buddhas may nevertheless frighten you. Do not give in to your fright! Do not run away!

Pray to them with intense faith and humility, ...[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]But if you miss it, you will next be confronted with the angry deities, ... threatening you and barring your passage ... because you turned a deaf ear to the saving truths of religion. All these forms are strange to you, ... they terrify you, ... and yet it is you who have created them. Do not give in to your fright, ... flee them not! They are but ... the contents of your own mind... If at this point you should manage to understand that, ... and you will find yourself in a paradise among the angels.[/FONT]

107. குருவே கடவுள்.
குரு வெளியிலும் இருக்கிறார். உள்ளேயும் இருக்கிறார். வெளியில் இருந்து அவர் மனத்தை உள்ளே தள்ளுகிறார். உள்ளிருந்து மனத்தை ஆத்மாவை நோக்கி இழுக்கிறார். அதுவே குருவருள். கடவுள், குரு, ஆத்மா ஆகிய மூன்றும் ஒன்றே.

108. உதவி.
எங்கும் பரந்திருக்கும் கடவுள் பக்தன் மீது கருணை கொண்டு, பக்தனின் முன்னேற்றத்துக்குத் தக்கபடி வெளிப்படுகிறார். பக்தன் கடவுளை மனிதன் என்று நினைத்து தூல உறவு கொள்ள எதிர்பார்த்து நிற்கிறான். ஆனால் கடவுள் ஸ்வரூபமான குரு உள்ளிருந்து வேலை செய்து பக்தன் தன் தவறுகளை உணர உதவி செய்து, அவன்
சரியான வழியில் செல்ல உதவி செய்கிறார். இவ்வுதவி பக்தன் தனக்குள் ஆத்மாவை உணரும் வரை தொடரும்.

There is a general saying that every one must try to work hard to utilize the
talent, energy and skill that one possesses not only for the their own benefit
but also for the society with which he/she is associated. Social service
generally is termed as a Service to God. But for Social service, as we
may be completely new to the field, we may have to do slight mental re-adjustment
because we may come across unexpected feelings at times.

Religion - a Matter of the Heart: "True religion is not a narrow dogma. It is not external observance. It is faith in God and living in the presence of God. It means faith in a future life, in truth and Ahimsa…. Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religio

Belief in Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma): "I call myself a Sanatani Hindu, because I believe in the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Puranas, and all that goes by the name of Hindu scripture, and therefore in avataras and rebirth; I believe in the varnashrama dharma in a sense, in my opinion strictly Vedic but not in its presently popular crude sense; I believe in the protection of cow … I do not disbelieve in murti puja."

The Teachings of the Gita: "Hinduism as I know it entirely satisfies my soul, fills my whole being … When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and when I see not one ray of light on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita, and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. My life has been full of tragedies and if they have not left any visible and indelible effect on me, I owe it to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita." (Young India: June 8, 1925)
