Guidance and help of Guru is inevitable and indispensable for
progress in one's spiritual pursuits. Without his help it is
impossible to move ahead in the spiritual sojourn. Hence, all the
saints have underscored the importance of Sadguru and glorified the
role and noble virtues of the Guru in their numerous hymns. Below is
presented an English translation of a verse taken from "Mehi
Padaavali" composed by Maharshi Mehi Paramhansji Maharaj, one of the
greatest exponents of Santmat .

O exemplary and Honourable Guru! Kindly bless me so that my
consciousness may ascend/ rise in the inner (spiritual) sky. Please
be generous enough to enable me catch hold of (perceive) the current
of the all-pervading eternal Divine Sound. Holding on to your
benevolent ray, may I be able to behold your refulgent subtle form.
There is none other so lacking or destitute in spiritual means and
meditation as am I. So, O Lord! Kindly cast aside these weaknesses
and deficiencies inherent in me. Please be forgiving and merciful
and destroy or demolish the huge stockpile of evil samskaras I have
amassed during my numerous previous births owing to my own improper
actions or deeds. O Guru! It is in your basic nature to liberate the
disgraceful, sinful souls (mortals). Kindly emancipate me, too,
beseeches Maharshi Mehi, in keeping with your true & natural
disposition.
