SUTRA III. 3. 44.

प्रदानवदेव हि तदुक्तम्॥३.३.४४॥

pradānavadeva hi taduktam ..3.3.44..

… Pradanavad, just as the gift of learning given by a teacher, through favour, to his disciple. … Eva, exactly. .. Tad, that. Uktam, it is said.

44. It is said that the attainment of Brahman is exactly as much the gift of the Guru, as the attainment of learning Scriptures from him. — 405.

COMMENTARY

According to the extent of the favour of the Guru in imparting the means of obtaining Brahman, namely, in imparting teaching which is the cause of attaining Brahman, to that extent depends the fruit of such attainment. It is not by mere study that Brahman is readied, but the kindly glance of the Guru is absolutely necessary for that purpose. The word Pra in the Sutra indicates this grace of the Guru. The Lord Shri Krishna Himself has said so in the Gita (XIII, 7):

«Humility unpretentiousness, harmlessness, forgiveness, rectitude, service of the teacher, purity, steadfastness, self-control».

Therefore, the attainment of the Brahman is the result of that study which is accompanied by the grace of the Guru.

Adhikarana XXI — Grace is stronger than exertion,

though exertion is also necessary

Doubt: Is one’s own exertion stronger or the grace of the Guru?

Purvapaksha: Without exertion the grace of the Guru will not be able to accomplish anything, hence, one’s own exertion is stronger.

Siddhanta: The above view is controverted in the next Sutra.
