ધ્યાનમૂલં ગુરુમૂર્તિ, પૂજામૂલં ગુરુપદમ્; મંત્રમૂલં ગુરુવાક્ય, મોક્ષમૂલં ગુરુકૃપા.
Dhyaanamoolam gurumoortih, poojamoolam gurupadam; Mantramoolam guruvaakyam, mokshamoolam gurukrupaa.
The idol of the guru is the foundation for meditation. Taking shelter at his feet is the foundation for worship. The words emanating from the guru are the foundation for all mantras (esoteric phrases), and his grace is the foundation for Moksha. (14)
અખંડમંડલાકારં વ્યાપ્ત યેન ચરાચરમ્, તત્પદં દર્શિતં યેન, તસ્મ શ્રી ગુરવે નમ:
Akhandmandalaakaaram vyaaptam yena charaacharam, Tatpadam darshitam yena, tasmai shree gurave namaha
The whole universe, full of beings capable and incapable of moving themselves, is known by the Lord. I bow to the Guru for he has shown this to me. (15)
અજ્ઞાનતિમિરાન્ધાનાં જ્ઞાનાંજનશલાકયા, ચક્ષુરુન્મિલિત યેન તસ્મ શ્રી ગુરવે નમઃ
Agnaantimiraandhaanaam gnaanaanjanashalaakayaa, Chakshurunmilitam yena tasmai shree gurave namaha
In the blind darkness of spiritual folly, opening my inner eye, by applying the collyrium of wisdom with his wand Enabling me to see reality as it is, that is why I bow to him, the Guru. (16)
ધ્યાનધૂપં મન:પુષ્પ, પંચેન્દ્રિય હુતાશનમ્, ક્ષમાજાપ સંતોષપૂજા, પૂજ્યો દેવો નિરંજનઃ
Dhyanadhoopam manahapushpam, panchendriya hutaashanam, Kshamaajaap santoshapoojaa, poojyo devo niranjanah
Like lit incense, I offer the self awareness ignited by meditation, offering the flower of my mind, I sacrifice my attraction towards the objects of the five senses in the sacred fire, Forgiveness is recited with my rosary and contentment is my worship. This is the true worship of the pure Lord. (17)
