गुरु शब्दस युस यछ पछ भरे

ज्ञान वगि रटि चित तोरगस

येन्द्रि शोमोरिथ आनन्द करे

अथ कुसे मरि ताय मारन कस

One who remains faithful to the living word of the teacher turns awareness inward and discovers a peace beyond ordinary fear. Knowledge is not merely learned; it changes the person who receives it.

For Lalla, the guru is not an authority to imitate. The guru is the catalytic presence through which borrowed knowledge becomes direct experience.
