I salute Brahman, the destroyer of the fear of those who take refuge in It-which, though unborn, appears to be associated with birth through Its own majestic powers; which, though motionless, appears to be moving; and which, though non-dual, appears to have assumed many forms to those whose vision is deluded by the perception of diverse objects and their attributes. I prostrate myself at the feet of the teacher of my teacher, the most adored among the adorable, who-out of sheer compassion for the beings drowned in the deep ocean of the world, infested by the terrible sharks of incessant births and deaths-rescued, for the benefit of all, this nectar, hardly attainable even by the immortals, from the inmost depths of the ocean of the Vedas by churning it with the rod of his illumined wisdom. I make obeisance with my whole being to those holy feet-the dispellers of the fear of the chain of births and deaths-of my own great teacher, who, through the light of his illumined wisdom, destroyed the darkness of delusion enveloping my mind; who put an end, for ever, to my appearance and disappearance in this terrible ocean of innumerable births and deaths; and who enables all others, too, that take shelter at his feet, to attain unfailing knowledge of the scriptures, peace and the state of perfect non-differentiation. Aum Tat Sat
