तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया | उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः
tadviddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā . upadekṣyanti te jñānaṃ jñāninastattvadarśinaḥ
你要透過謙卑的禮拜、誠懇的提問和恭敬的服務來求知。那些已證悟真理的智者將會將那智慧傳授給你。
Know that through prostration, iniry and service. The wise ones who have realized the Truth will impart the Knowledge to you.
去尋求那些精通梵（Brahman）經典並已安住於梵（Brahmanishthas）的老師。以深切的謙卑和完美的虔誠向他們頂禮。向他們提問：「喔，尊敬的古魯（Guru），束縛的原因是什麼？我如何才能獲得解脫？無明的本質是什麼？智慧的本質是什麼？獲得自我證悟的內在靈修（AntarangaSadhana）是什麼？」全心全意地服務古魯。一位精通經典（Sastras）但未直接證悟自我的老師，將無法幫助你獲得自我知識。而一位既有經典知識又安住於梵（Brahman）的老師，才能指導你獲得那知識並幫助你實現自我證悟。僅僅頂禮是不夠的，那可能帶有虛偽。你必須對你的古魯和他的教導有完美的信心。你必須以極大的虔誠全心全意地服務他。如此，虛偽便不可能存在。
Go to the teachers (those who are well versed in the scriptures dealing with Brahman or Brahmasrotris? and who are established in Brahman or Brahmanishthas). Prostrate yourself before them with profound humility and perfect devotion. Ask them estions? O venerable Guru What is the cause of bondage How can I get liberation What is the nature of ignorance What is the nature of knowledge What is the AntarangaSadhana (inward spiritual practice) for attaining Selfrealisation Serve the Guru wholeheartedly. A teacher who is versed in the scriptures (Sastras) but who has no direct Selfrealisaiton will not be able to help you in the attainment of the knowledge of the Self. He who has knowledge of the scriptures and who is also established in Brahman will be able to instruct thee in that knowledge and help thee in the attainment of Selfrealisation. Mere prostrations alone will not do. They may be tinged with hypocrisy. You must have perfect faith in your Guru and his teaching. You must serve him wholeheartedly with great devotion. Now hypocrisy is not possible.
