Śriguroḥ paraṁ rupāṁ viveka-cakṣurgṛataḥ | mandabhāgyā na paśyanti andhāḥ sūryodayaṁ yatha || 94 ||🔗

94. Just as the blind do not see the rising sun (or the light), people of dull intellect and the unlucky do not see the Supreme Form of the Śrī Guru with the help of discrimination.

[notes: the man of dull intellect fails to behold the effulgent from of the Guru. What is meant here us that the absence of sharp and discriminative intellect one cannot see the real form and glory of the Guru, though he may have spent yers or ages with him.]

kulānāṁ kulakotīnaṁ tārakastra tatkśaṇāt | atastaṁ sadguruṁ jñātvā trikālambhivādyet || 95 ||

95. Guru is the instantaneous savior of one's family-line not only one but of crores of generations. Knowing this, one should prostrate to the Sadguru thrice daily.

WORSHIP ALONE NOONE KNOWS GURU TATTVA TRIDEVA GAIN STRENGTH FROM GURU (summary end of chap 1 )

Śrīnātha caraṇā-dvamdaṁ yasyāṁ diśi virājate | tasyāṁ diśi namaskuryād bhaktyā pratidinaṁ priye || 96 ||

96. My Dear One! In whichever direction the holy Feet of Śrī Nātha (Sadguru) rest, to that place and direction prostrate with deep devotion everyday.

sāṣṭānga-praṇipātena stuvannityaṁ guruṁ bhajet | bhajanāt-sthairyamāpnoti svasvarupamyobhavet || 97 ||

97. One should worship his Guru by daily performing full prostrations (sāṣṭānga praṇipāta) to Him. By devoted worship one attains steadiness and ultimately realizes one's own true nature.

Note: this is an outward expression of the inner bhāva of disciple. When bhava is lacking, the outer expressions also are absent. The inner feelings are expressed by way one stands, moves, behaves.
