Salutations to my guru who is pure consciousness, eternal, peaceful, beyond space, name and forms (gross, subtle and causal).

Let us expound the above verse:

The Guru, being none other than Brahman, manifests here as the guiding presence, reflecting the supreme reality. The Guru is pure consciousness (Caitanya), eternal (Śāśvataḥ), and peaceful (Śāntaḥ).

Brahman is described as Sat-Chit-Ānanda Swarūpaḥ, and this verse beautifully expresses that essence:

• Sat—the ever-existent reality that is beyond birth and death, transcending all limitations of time—past, present, and future.
• Chit—the pure Caitanya, the illuminating consciousness that makes all experience possible, like light revealing forms.
• Ānanda—the infinite nature of Brahman. When consciousness is infinite and unobstructed, it manifests as supreme peace (Śāntaḥ).

Since Brahman is the only truth, it is beyond (Atitaḥ) everything—even the first element, space (Vyoma). This emphasizes that Brahman is beyond all conceivable or inconceivable limits, for even imagination arises only after the manifestation of elements. Naturally, Brahman is also beyond form (Bindu), beyond sound (Nāda), and beyond modification or expression (Kalā).

To my Guru, who is none other than the reflection of Brahman, I offer my deepest salutations.
