Rajasthani bhajan evening
The Guru is the sole means to liberation and the resolution of all suffering. Without devotion to the Guru, no happiness exists. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa, the sun, and the power of Gaṇeśa. The true Guru is the supreme, formless Lord. Holding the Guru's name removes sin and suffering. The root of knowledge is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet; the root of mantra is the Guru's word; the root of liberation is the Guru's grace. One must abandon negative qualities and falsehood. Do not see faults in others, for seeing one fault in another means three exist within oneself. Follow the Guru's command. In the company of truth, do not slander, lie, or harbor hunger and anger.
"Guru bhakti bin sukh na hoi, to karoḍa kūpāye kare yadi koī."
"Ogan, tajo gunne pakdo, mir jai ghor andhera."
