I bow down to the universal teacher
who is absolute truth pure consciousness and bliss, who is beyond all differences,
who is ever full without attributes and formless, who is all pervading and ever centered in the self.
Lead us from the unreality to reality
Lead us from darkness to light
Lead us from death to immortality
