The fruit of this life comes through the preceptor,
On whose eloquence, the godly name predominates all the time.(493)
The perfect preceptor mirrors the absolute Almighty,
Therefore, you must toil to get divine mysteries unravelled through
him.(494)
The absolute preceptor is the embodiment of the Almighty,
His reflections always remain lodged in our hearts.(495)
When his image inhabits any individual heart,
Then only the godly name abides in his mind.(496)
I have strung all these beads in this wreath,
So that this measure may impart (awareness) to the ignorant ones.(497)
Like the cup, this book is brimful with the nectarous existence,
And, therefore, it is assigned the name of The Epistle of Life.(498)
