सिद्धान्तशिखामणि (शिवयोगी रेणुकाचार्य - वीरशैव षट्स्थल दर्शन एवं शक्तिविशिष्टाद्वैत महाग्रन्थ)

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
शिवार्थं भावयन् योगी जीवन्मुक्तो भविष्यति।।५७।।
Reflecting that the joy and sorrow arising due to Karma
obtained through all the senses as dedicated to Śiva, the
Yogin becomes “Jīvanmukta”. (57)
शासनीयो भवेद्यस्तु परकायेन सर्वदा।
तत्प्रसादात्तु मोक्षार्थी स शिष्य इति कीर्तितः।।५८।।
He who is always to be instructed by the Śivayogin
(Parayogin) and who is an aspirant for liberation through
Śivayogin’s favour, is termed as “the disciple” (Śiṣya). (58)
भावो यस्य स्थिरो नित्यं मनोवाक्कायकर्मभिः।
गुरौ निजे गुणोदारे स शिष्य इति गीयते।।५९।।
He whose attachment towards his Guru, the one who
has the abundance of merits, is always firm in mind, speech
and physical action, has been eulogised as the “Śiṣya”. (59)
शान्तो दान्तस्तपश्शीलः सत्यवाक् समदर्शनः।
गुरौ शिवे समानस्थः स शिष्याणामिहोत्तमः।।६०।।
He who is calm, who is self - restrained, who is given to
penance, who speaks the truth, who looks upon all with
equality and who treats the Guru and Śiva with equal regard,
is the best among the “Śiṣyas”.(60)
गुरुमेव शिवं पश्येच्छिवमेव गुरुं तथा।
नैतयोरन्तरं किञ्चिद्विजानीयाद्विचक्षणः।।६१।।
शिवाचारे शिवध्याने शिवज्ञाने च निर्मले।
गुरोरादेशमात्रेण परां निष्ठामवाप्नुयात्।।६२।।
The wise one (Śiṣya) looks upon the Guru as Śiva and
Śiva as the Guru. He does not think of any difference
between them. (61) He cherishes extreme devotion on the
mere direction of the Guru, towards the Śaiva practices,
meditation on Śiva and the flawless knowledge of Śiva.(62)
ब्रह्माण्डबुद्बुदोद्भूतं मायासिन्धुं महत्तरम्।
गुरोः कवलयत्याशु कटाक्षवडवानलः।।६३।।
गुरोः कटाक्षवेधेन शिवो भवति मानवः।
रसवेधाद् यथा लोहो हेमतां प्रतिपद्यते।।६४।।
The submarine fire in the form of Guru’s gracious
glance consumes at once the great ocean of Māyā wherein
the bubbles in the form of worlds rise. (63) Through the
piercing of the gracious glance of the Guru the man becomes
Śiva, just as through the piercing of the quick-silver the
metal (copper) becomes gold.(64)
न लङ्घयेद् गुरोराज्ञां ज्ञानमेव प्रकाशयन्।
शिवासक्तेन मनसा सर्वसिद्धिमवाप्नुयात्।।६५।।
Showing the knowledge of “non-duality” with Śiva, the
Śiṣya should never transgress the direction of the Guru. But
with his mind fully attached to Śiva he would attain all the
powers.(65)
शिवादन्यज्जगन्मिथ्या शिवः संवित्स्वरूपकः।
शिवस्त्वमिति निर्दिष्टो गुरुणा मुक्त एव सः।।६६।।
That the world is apart from Śiva is false and Śiva is of
the nature of consciousness. He who is instructed by the
Guru that “you are Śiva”, is, indeed, liberated. (66)
गुरोर्लब्ध्वा महाज्ञानं संसारामयभेषजम्।
मोदते यः सुखी शान्तः स जीवन्मुक्त एव हि।।६७।।
After having obtained the knowledge of the principal
Upaniṣadic statements (through the Guru), which is the
medicine for the disease in the form of transmigration, he
who takes delight in that and who becomes happy and
