Räjgeetä
It means: Whose feet shall I fall at if God and Guru are both standing before me? The higher beneficence comes from the Guru, because he helped in recognizing God.
A devotee may pray and worship the omniscient Lords. He may also think that the Lords have rendered obligation by describing the true path, and recite the appropriate verses in token of his devotion. Does he, however, get benefit merely out of that? The whole purpose of worship is to get on the path treaded by the Lords. But if one does not know the true state of the Lords, how can he understand the path treaded by them? What benefit would he then get merely by worshipping the Lords?
If he comprehends the state of the omniscient Lords by getting explanation from a true Guru, he can also understand the path of liberation indicated by the Lords. Then he will surely go ahead on that path and attain the liberation. In other words, he will attain the state that the Lords have attained. It is therefore said here that right understanding will lead to omniscience.
આત્માદિ અસ્તિત્વનાં, જેહ નિરૂપક શાસ્ત્ર; પ્રત્યક્ષ સદ્ગુરુ યોગ નહિ, ત્યાં આધાર સુપાત્ર.
