Chapter 4 verse 34
“Know that by long prostration, by question, and service;
the wise who have realized the truth will instruct you in that knowledge”
Lord shows a path to get the knowledge of Self which is
the ultimate destination of all desire less actions done in the spirit of
sacrifice. He instructs to surrender wholeheartedly to a Self realized master
in body, mind and intellect. When the surrender happens, the Self in oneself
merges within itself. The importance of an appropriate Guru is stressed in a
number places in sanatana dharma. Even a very centered person such as Adi
Shankara and for that matter even Krishna needed to get a Guru to advance and
complete their Self realization. It is through the good deeds of all previous
lives and one’s current life, does a person encounter the presence of a
realized master in their lives. Then it is important to leverage this Guru and
get to the destination.
