I was born in the darkest ignorance
but the guru illumined my path with the torch of knowledge -
I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.
The sat-guru is a cloud from the ocean of mercy;
he rains transcendental knowledge upon the ignorance afflicted jivas -
extinguishing the hellish flames of avidya.
I offer repeated obeisances to that guru who is an ocean of auspiciousness!
