सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः | नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते
satataṃ kīrtayanto māṃ yatantaśca dṛḍhavratāḥ . namasyantaśca māṃ bhaktyā nityayuktā upāsate
那些誓願堅定者,恆常讚頌我,努力精進,以虔敬之心禮拜我,並恆常專注於我,以此崇拜我。
Always glorifying Me and striving, the men of firm vows worship Me by paying obeisance to Me and being ever endowed with devotion.
這些偉大靈魂者歌頌我的榮耀,持誦普拉那瓦(Pranava,即嗡),學習並背誦奧義書。他們從靈性導師那裡聆聽吠陀經(Sruti),反思並冥想無相的絕對者(Nirguna Brahman)。他們培養悅性美德,如耐心、慈悲、宇宙之愛、寬容、忍耐、真誠、純潔等。他們控制感官,穩定心靈,並堅守不害、真誠、思想言行純潔的誓願。他們以極大的信念和虔誠,將我視為隱藏在他們心中的內在自性而崇拜。初學者無法直接見到神,因此必須先崇拜他們的古魯(靈性導師),並將其視為神或梵本身。
These great souls sing My glory. They do Japa (repetition) of Pranava (Om). They study and recite the Upanishads. They hear the Srutis (the Vedas) from their spiritual preceptor? reflect and meditate on the attributeless Absolute (Nirguna Brahman). They cultivate the Sattvic virtues such as patience? mercy? cosmic love? tolerance? forbearance? truthfulness? purity? etc. They control the senses and steady the mind. They are firm in their vows of nonviolence? truthfulness and purity in thought? word and deed. They worship Me with great faith and devotion as the inner Self hidden in their heart. As a neophyte cannot see God face to face? he will have to worship his Guru (spiritual preceptor) firt and regard him as God or Brahman Himself.
