24So renounce the intellectual cleverness of your mind, and listen to the Teachings. ||1||Pause||

25Meditate, meditate, meditate in remembrance on the Primal Lord, the Great Giver.

26May I never forget that Primal, Infinite Lord from my mind. ||2||

27I have enshrined love for the Lotus Feet of the Wondrous Divine Guru.

28One who is blessed by Your Mercy, God, is committed to Your service. ||3||

37Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar, I am satisfied. How wondrous is its taste! ||2||

38I myself am liberated, and my companions swim across; my family and ancestors are also saved.

39Service to the Divine Guru is fruitful; it has made me pure in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

40I am lowly, without a master, ignorant, worthless and without virtue.
