Footnotes

(1) Salutations to that respected Guru having the form of an unbroken, undivided circle, by whom the movable and immovable worlds are pervaded, by whom the supreme stance of salvation is shown.
Salutations to that respected Guru by whom the eyes of one blinded by the darkness of ignorance are opened with a stick that applies the ointment of spiritual knowledge.
The Guru as Supreme Progenitor, the Guru as Guardian, the Guru as the one who has the withdrawing power, the Guru who alone is the Supreme Subject – salutations to that respected Guru.
