Jaya Guru Datta. English summary:

Sloka:
Yena cetayata purya cittam cetayate narah |
Jagrat svapna susuptyadau tasmai sri gurave namah ||

Obeisance to Sadguru who stirs the mind, on account of which man remains dynamic in all the three states of wakefulness, dream and deep sleep; in other words is able to have thoughts in all three states.

Some think and plan a lot. Some people consider themselves inert, dull and tamasic. Tamasic also refers to an ignorant fool who knows nothing, or one who is filled with Tamas (inertia, darkness). The Guru is getting into the mind of even such an ignorant being and transforming him into a person filled with consciousness. The Guru resides in the minds of such people too. The person may be inert and stupid. But, the Guru gets into his mind and fills him with consciousness. The Guru’s compassion is beyond the material cause and effect. Even those who think and plan a lot can do so only when they are awake. But, they cannot think and plan in the dream or deep sleep state, because their mind is inert at that time. Similarly, when one has interact with another, both need to be in the waking state. Only when they are awake will the activity take place. But, the Guru alone has the power to stir and mind and create consciousness in the inert minds of people that are in the dream or deep sleep state. If the Guru can do this in inert minds that are in dream or deep sleep state, imagine what he could do in the minds in wakeful state. Obeisance to such a Sadguru.

Sloka:
Yasya jnanadidam viswam adrsyam bheda bhedatah |
Satswarupavasesam ca tasmai sri gurave namah ||

Obeisance to Sadguru, the knowledge of whom destroys the duality of the mind and lets the whole universe become a non-entity that remains in the form of Sattva (purity, divinity). The state beyond non-duality is also the state beyond birth and death. This is the state of the Absolute which the Guru graciously grants.

That is also what you should pray to the Guru for. That state of non-duality is the state beyond birth and death. That is the state of the Absolute. That is what the Guru grants.

Sloka:
Yayeva karyarupena karanenapi bhati ca |
Karya karana nirmuktah tasmai sri gurave namah ||

Jaya Guru Datta.
