II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आघवियाची दैवां I जन्मभूमी हे सेवा I जे ब्रम्ह करी जीवा I शोच्यातेंही II 370 II
ते आचार्योपास्ति I प्रकटिजैल तुजप्रती I बैसों दिले एकपांती I अवधानाची II 371 II
तरी सकळ जळसमृद्धी I घेऊनि गंगा निघाली उदधी I कीं.श्रुति हे महापदीं I पैठी जाहाली II 372 II
नाना वेंटाळुनि जीवितें I गुणागुण उखितें I प्राणनाथा उचितें I दिधलें प्रिया II 373 II
तैसें सबाह्य आपुलें Iजेणें गुरुकुळीं वोपिलें I आपणपें केलें I भक्तीचें घर II 374 II

"Lord Krishna said, let Me have your attention, for now I describe to you Guru Bhakti, a deep, heartfelt devotion, love, and faith in Guru, the revered preceptor. The sincere devotion and service to one's Guru bring about immense good fortune, blessings, and a divine grace. The smile of fortune is the state of constant inner joy and fulfillment that comes from a deep, pure, and loving relationship with one's Guru. This is not typically a guarantee of material wealth, but rather profound inner happiness, wisdom, and liberation from worldly suffering. The river Ganga takes with it all water to merge into the sea, the Vedas provide the foundational knowledge that leads to Moksha, or liberation from the cycle of birth and death and the cessation of all material suffering, resulting in profound inner peace and bliss. An ideal wife who is completely devoted, faithful, and loyal to her husband, treating him serving him with heart, mind, and soul, prioritizing his well-being and the family's honor above all else, even through hardship. Similarly through the the profound, active devotion to one's Guru, through selfless service (Guru-seva), unwavering obedience to their teachings and embodying their wisdom in one's life, the disciple becomes the temple of devotion."
