Elsewhere than before the Sadguru,

If incense is burnt

What happens to that incense

Is like this                                                                             …115

 

 

When the incense is put on the fire,

The moment it actually touches it

The fragance  from the incense

Leaves it instantly.                                                               …116

 

Before you, it's the contrary

the impurities burn away in the fire,

The good remains for ever

For the world to see.                                                           …117

 

Once the vileness of the mind is burnt away,

The mind will become purer ;

Once the Ganga's impurity is gone,

Then it is holy, naturnally.                                                     …118

 

The light of temptations

I kindle most truly,

From which, may the lustre of asceticism

Be granted to me, oh GURUVARA !                                      …119

 

The throne of pure faith

I offer you as a seat ;

On receiving it

Accept the offering ("naiyvedya") of devotion.                  …120

 

You partake the offerings of devotion,

Give me the essence ;

Because I am your child

I have a claim on your milk.                                                  …121

 

My mind is my monetary offering ("DAKSHINA")

That I offer to you ;

Therefore, the credit or discredit of any action

will no longer be mine.                                                         …122
