Var-34
One Oankar, the primal energy, realized through the grace of divine preceptor.
Pauri-1 Praise of Satguru before him and end of a mind oriented.
The true guru is inaccessible, without rancour and extraordinary. Consider earth as the true abode of Dharma. Here karmas take care of the fruits that is one reaps what one sows. He the Lord, is the mirror in which the world can see its face reflected. One would see the same face he will carry before the mirror. The servant of God remain red faced and triumphant whereas the apostates keep their faces blackened.
Pauri-2 The disciple hiding the Guru.
If the disciple does not tell about his guru, how can he get liberated. Bound in chains, he is forced to walk alone on the way of the Yama, death. In dilemma he stands and suffers hell. Though he transmigrates in the eighty four lac species of life yet he does not meet the Lord. Like the playing of gamble, he loses the invaluable stake of life in this game. At the end of life he has jitters and lamentations but the time gone never returns.
Pauri-3 Guru prevaricator is apostate.
The Guru prevaricator is similar to a girl who herself does not go to the father-in-law’s house and gives precepts to others. Her husband never cares for her and she sings paeans of her happy married life. It is such as the rat itself cannot enter the hole but roams tied winnowing tray to its waist. It is such a person as not knowing even the mantra of a centipede lays his hand on a snake. The person who facing towards sky shoots an arrow receives the arrow on his own face. The apostate is yellow faced, frightened in both the worlds and repents.
Pauri-4 The apostate cannot enjoy.
The monkey knows no worth of jewellery tied to its neck. Even being in food the ladle does not know the taste of the dishes. The frog always lives in mire but still does not know the lotus. Having musk in its navel the deer runs around confused. The cattle breeder puts the milk on sale but fetches home the oil cakes and husk. The apostate is a person basically gone astray and he undergoes the sufferings given by the Yama.
Pauri-5 The apostate possesses everything but still is unhappy.
In the month of Savan, the whole forest becomes green but javesl- a prickly plant- remains dry. During rains every one feels delighted but the weaver is seen gloomy. In the night all the pairs meet bur for Chakavi,that is the time of separation. The conch remains dry even in the ocean and cries when blown. The man gone astray will definitely be robbed by putting rope around his neck. Likewise, the apostate goes on sobbing in this world.
Pauri- 6 The apostate puts blame on others.
The jackal cannot reach the grapes and say disdainfully that grapes are sour. The dancer knows no dance but says that place is uneven or narrow. Before a deaf person singing in measure Bhairav or Gaur is futile. How a plover can fly equal to a swan. The whole of the forest goes green in rainy season but akk grows in the period of drought. The apostate cannot have happiness like an abandoned woman.
Pauri – 7 The result of a company of an apostate.
How one could get across the pond by catching the tail of a sheep. Friendship with a ghost is always a source of suspicious life. The tree on a river bank cannot have faith that river will not destroy it. How a woman married to a dead man could be said to be a Suhagin that is whose husband is alive. How nectar could be obtained by sowing poison. The friendship with an apostate brings the sufferings of the rod of Yama.
Pauri- 8 The apostate himself is a a culprit.
When moth, an Indian pulse is cooked over the fire some grains being hard remain uncooked. This is not the fault of the fire. If one fruit out of a thousand go bad, it is not the fault of the tree. It is not the fault of the water that it does not rest on a hill. If a sick person dies from not following the regimen prescribed for him, it is not fault of the doctor. If a barren woman have no offspring, it is her destiny and not the fault of her husband. In the same way if a perverse man accepts not the Guru’s instructions, it is his own fault and not the Guru’s.
Pauri-9 The earning of an apostate is defective.
The blind cannot see the moon though its light scatters all around. The music loses not its melody if a deaf person cannot understand it. In spite of plenty of fragrance, the person without power of smell cannot enjoy the same. The word resides in one and all, but the dumb cannot move his tongue. The true Guru is an ocean and true servants receive treasures out of it. The apostate gets the shells only because their cultivation and labour is defective.
Pauri-10 Nature of the apostate.
Jewels have come out of sea but still its water is brackish. In the light of moon, the three worlds are seen, yet the stigma on moon persists. The earth produces the corn but still alkaline earth is also there. Shiva, getting happy, grants boon to others but in his own home only ashes and begging bowl are found. The powerful Hanuman can do a lot for others but has only a loincloth to wear. Who can efface the words of destiny of the apostate.
Pauri-11 The apostate is a liar.
The cow heads are there in the house of a master, the foolish person continues getting the churning sticks made for his own home. The horses are with the merchants and the foolish person roams around purchasing the whips. Foolish person creates stampede at his home only by seeing the harvest of others around the threshing floor. The gold is with the gold merchant but the foolish calls for the goldsmith at his own home for preparing the jewellery. He has no place at home, but goes on boasting outside. The apostate is unstable like a speedy cloud and goes on telling lies.
Pauri-12 The apostate is empty and hollow.
When the butter is churned and taken away, the buttermilk is abandoned. When the juice of a sugarcane is extracted out, nobody touches the trash. When the fast colour of Rubia munjista is taken away then nobody cares for it even worth a penny. When the fragrance of flowers is exhausted, no more shelter they get. When the atman separates from the body,no companion of the body remains. It is clear to everyone that the apostate is like dry wood which can only be pushed into fire.
Pauri- 13 How the apostate could be set right.
The water is drawn out of well only when pitcher is tied from the neck with rope. The cobra does not happily give away the jewel in the head, that can only be got after killing it. The deer also gives musk after its death. Oil from sesame seeds is only got after being crushed in a mill. The kernel of a coconut can be got only when its mouth is broken. The apostate is such an iron that can be given desired shape only with the strokes of hammer.
Pauri-14 The apostate is always inverted.
The foolish would say the poison sweet and the angry person a happy one. To the extinguished lamp he says the enlightened one and a killed goat to him is dressed one. To burnt he would say the cooled one, the gone for him is come and the come for him is eloped one. To a moron he would call simple, and his all talks will be contrary to normal. To the ruining person, the foolish would say that he is leaving everything of his own sweet will. Such people are like mother of a thief who weeps hiding in a corner lest she is detected and possibility of catching hold of her son increases.
Pauri-15 Result of the association of apostates.
If someone enters a room full of soot his face is sure to be blackened. If seed be sown in the alkaline field, that will be go worthless. If someone swings on a broken swing, he will fall and kill himself. If a man does not know how to swim, leans on the shoulders of another equally ignorant, how shall he cross a deep river. Move not with him who sets fire to his own house and then goes to sleep. Such is the society of deceitful and apostates wherein man is ever in fear of his life.
Pauri-16 The apostate is a big sinner.
The killing of a brahmin, cow and the man of one’s own family is a deadly sin. The drunkards gamble and look at the wives of others. The thieves and dacoits loot other’s wealth. These all are treacherous, ungrateful, sinners, and killers. If such persons are gathered in infinite numbers, even then they are not equal to the single hair of the apostate.
Pauri-17 The sin of apostasy does not get off.
If one goes to the Ganges, Yamuna, Godavari, Kurukshetra, Mathura, Mayapuri, Ayodhya, and Kedarnath and the door of Gomati, Saraswati, Prayag and Gaya are also approached and all sorts of recitations, yajnas, hymns, are practised and all the gods are praised and the eyes putting on earth if even the three worlds are visited, even then the sin of apostasy never fades out.
Pauri-18 No happiness without true Guru.
Many are engrossed in myriad of tastes, and many are the Kings of the forests. Many are the places, whirlwinds, mountains and ghosts, many are rivers,streams and the deep tanks. The sky has many a star and in the nether world innumerable are serpents. Many are wandering confused in the labyrinth of world. Without one true Guru all else are perplexities.
Pauri-19 The apostate is centreless.
A guest of many houses remain hungry. On the loss of common father of many, scant are the weeping and mental anxieties. When many drummers strike a drum, no one is pleased with the discordant voices. How could a crow wandering from forest to forest be happy and honourable. As a prostitute’s body suffers from having many lovers. Those who worship others than the Guru are unhappy in their apostasy.
Pauri-20 The egotists is a ghost.
With the sound of the sieve it is vain to cause the camel to get up. Frightening the elephant with the clapping of the hands is futile. As burning of the lamp before a Vasuki cobra is useless in the hope that it will run away. If rabbit looking into the eyes wishes to frighten a lion it is merely suicidal. Small water conduit pipes cannot be equal to the ocean. Like ghost, the apostate being nothing goes on expressing his ego.
Pauri-21 It is useless to quarrel with the apostates.
Without husband a woman cannot enjoy pleasures of bed. If the son disobeys the parents, he is considered a bastard. If a merchant does not keep his word to his banker, he loses his faith. Take not arms against your master. The falsehood can never reach the truth even if hundred excuses are made. One should not behave stubbornly before the people wearing earrings as they are most obdurate ones.
