I can only utter the Name and bow before him with my folded hands. Once the Name is realised through thoughts _and actions,
Only then, I shall know the Peerless Lord, the only One,
This knowledge is embedded in my heart, through the Grace of the Guru. Saith Nalh the poet, "As the philosopher's stone, converts glass into gold And the Chandan tree with its association, infuses the neighbouring vegetation with fragrance."
So does the devotion of Guru, transform a person. Only the glimpse of whose door is enough
to rid a person of his sins, lust and wrath,
I am sacrifice unto the Name of the True Guru. (3)
