3. What is the use of deep meditation?; Let there be an abandonment of sensual pleasures, away with austerities; suffice with thoughts promoting welfare; enough of restraint of senses; and enough of the precepts of wise persons. However, observe only the commands of the teacher, out of love towards Guru, which destroy future existences in the Sam sara. Because, all the remaining virtuous qualities, without the observance of such commands, are not able to accomplish one's desired objects like au army without a commander.

Except the Guru -teacher, competent to disclose Dharma and Adharma, there is none else viz a father, a mother, a brother, dear wife, a multitude of sons, a friend, a lord of rutting elephants, warriors, chariots, horses, and retinue, who is able to protect living beings from drowning in the pit of Naraka नरक hell.
