Obeisance with intense devotion to the true Guide, the conferor of unique refuge.
Shuddha ätmaswaroopane pämyä сhhe evä jnänipurushoe niche kahyän chhe te chha padane samyagdarshannä niväsanä sarvotkrust sthäanak kahyän chhe.
The enlightened persons, who have attained the true nature of Self, have termed the following six Fundamentals as the supreme abode of right perception.
Pratham pad:- 'Ätmä сhhe.' Jem ghatpatädi padärtho chhe, tem ätmä pan chhe. Ämuk gun hoväne lidhe jem ghatpatädi hovänun pramän chhe, tem swaparprakäshak evi chaitnysattäno pratyaksh gun jene vishe chhe evo ätmä hovänun pramän chhe.
First Fundamental:- There is existence of soul. As there are physical objects like pot, cloth, etc. so is there the soul. As the properties of pot, cloth, etc. provide the evidence of their existence, the obvious property of consciousness to manifest the self as well as others is the evidence of the existence of soul.
Bijun pad:- 'Ätmä nitya chhe.' Ghatpatädi padärtho amuk kälvarti chhe. Atmä trikälvarti chhe. Ghatpatädi sanyoge kari padärth chhe. Ätmä swabhäve karine
