The Guru Gita extols worshipping the Guru, and living by his words and instructions. It prescribes meditation on the form and name of the Guru, and this is said to be the most effective Sadhana to reach the Sahaja Samadhi state. The Guru meant in the Guru Gita is a Jnana Guru( one who is firmly established in the Self). The meditation and worship by Mathru Sarada(disciple and adopted daughter of Sri Lakshmanaswamy) , stands testimony to this great secret, embodied in the Guru Gita. In fact, she was not even interested in Salvation. Her great love and devotion to Sri Lakshmanaswamy helped her realise the Self. Such is the power of worshipping the Guru......
A similar truth is expressed in the Guru Vachaka Kovai by Sri Muruganar. One of the verses translated from the Tamil rendering reads:
"For those who possess the quality of habitually meditating upon the feet of the Guru, the blazing flame of flawless true jnana, their devotion, dispelling their suffering, will elicit the grace of that Supreme One. Through that grace their minds will become clear and they will attain true jnana."
