But for him, the inner aspirations are not fulfilled,
As every beggar cannot acquire the royal riches.(415)
Except the preceptor, bring not any name on your tongue,
Because, only the perfect mentor leads you to the Almighty.(416)
Although every entity may have many preceptors,
But the perfect mentor is rarely accessible.(417)
That Almighty, the pious one has fulfilled my ambitions,
And endowed consolation to the detached heart.(418)
The attainment of the perfect preceptor is the divine achievement,
As he is the one who procures solace for the mind and the body.(419)
Above all, O My Mind, you liquidate your own SELF,
So that you can proceed on his avenue of veracity.(420)
