Shri Purohit Swami

जिसका अन्तःकरण शान्त है, जो भय-रहित है और जो ब्रह्मचारिव्रतमें स्थित है, ऐसा सावधान योगी मनका संयम करके मेरेमें चित्त लगाता हुआ मेरे परायण होकर बैठे।

Swami Ramsukhdas

(साधक को) प्रशान्त अन्त:करण, निर्भय और ब्रह्मचर्य ब्रत में स्थित होकर, मन को संयमित करके चित्त को मुझमें लगाकर मुझे ही परम लक्ष्य समझकर बैठना चाहिए।
