“The instructions that my Gurudeva has given

me about śravaṇam, kīrtanam, smaraṇam,

pādasevanam, etc. of Śrī Bhagavān are my
spiritual practice, my perfection, and my very
life. I am unable to relinquish them in either
the stage of practice (sādhana) or in the stage
of perfection (sādhya). My single desire and
only engagement is to follow those instructions.
Besides this, I have no other desire or
engagement, even in my dreams. There is no
loss for me, whether I attain happiness or
misery by following them, or whether my
material life is destroyed or not.”
