God and Guru

We have to follow the path shown to us by Sri Adi Shankaracharya. God and Guru. It is the Lord alone who removes our suffering while the Guru shows us the right path. The Lord is self-sufficient and is beyond needs. So it is only for our own good that we approach the Lord, worship Him or even remember Him.

Man essentially commits two kinds of sins. He does not do what he has to do, and does what he should abstain from.

यत्कृत्यं तन्न कृतं यदकृत्यं तत्कृत्यवदाचरितम् ।
उभयोः प्रायश्चित्तं शिव तव नामाक्षरद्वयोच्चरितम् ॥

Chanting the names of the Lord (Siva)are a sure means to absolve oneself of both these types of sins.
