An inexhaustible(endless) fountainhead of unparalleled grace, love and benevolence, knowing Him grants us strength, wisdom, bliss and peace. ‘Roop-Swaroop’: While the form(roop) of ornaments may be a necklace, bangle or earrings, their element(swaroop) is gold. Similarly, the visible form of sugar is granules, cubes or powder, yet its essence is sweetness, that is, sugar is inherently sweet in every form. ...2 |

God's name symbolizes supreme sanctity and divinity. 'Ram-Naam’, the storehouse of Omnipotence, guarantees deliverance from the mortal bondage leading to salvation. ‘Mantra’: The sacred word (or group of words) endowed with exceptional powers through a process of constant meditation. ‘Mantra’ ought to ennoble, enlighten and liberate the human soul from the mortal bondage(physical prison-human life). 'Bijaakshar': The core constituent of 'RAM' is formed by the unison of 'R' of 'Agni', 'A' of 'Surya', 'M' of 'Chandra' - the three essential cosmic elements (fire, sun, moon). ...3 |

From seed in earth as
grows a tree, Slowly by help of elements three, Sun, air, water- in similar way, Name's seed grown up into Yoga's Tree. |
|

In short, faith, ‘dhyaan’ and 'Samaadhi’ in unison with ' Mantra ' result in ‘Mantra-Yoga’. It follows 'Naam-Jaap' performed with complete devotion and faith. ...8 |

Yathaa Shakti Parmaanu Men, Vidyut-Kosh Samaan, Hai Mantra Tyon Shaktimaya, Aisaa Rakhiye Dhyaan. ...9. |
Within an atom as is
hidden Of latent power, a great treasure, A secret Shakti is thus locked up Within the mantra, of this be sure. |

As blows with force a
fragrant breeze Into a room through windows, doors, The Grace is thus ever blowing, Taking away all ills and sores. |
| With the opening of the windows, fresh air and light come in and drive away staleness. Likewise, Sri Ram's grace annihilates (finishes) all vices (and blesses us with virtues ) . ...11 | |

Aati Bijli-Dhaar, Naam Jaap Prabhaav Se, Tyon Kripaa-Avtaar. ...12. |
Soon as is pressed
electric button, A current at once begins to flow, So too, by jap*, of name Ram-Ram, The Grace of Ram descends below. *Jap is repetition of Ram-Ram |
| Electric current begins to flow instantaneously following a push on the switch. Likewise, repetition of God's name with devotion blesses us with His Grace. ...12 | |
Kholte Hee Jal Nal Jyon, Bahtaa Vaari Bahaav, Jap Se Kripaa Avtarit Ho, Tathaa Sajag Kar Bhaav. ...13. |
Comes rushing down water
with speed As soon is turned a tap, above, The Grace likewise descends by Jap**, And fills the mind with faith and love. ** Jap is Repetition of Ram-Ram |
| God's Grace descends automatically instilling life in our faith as a result of constant Jaap (recitation of Ram-Naam), just as water gushes forth as soon as the tap is turned on. ...13 | |

Ram Shabd Ko Dhyaaiye, Mantra Taarak Maan, Swashakti Sattaa Jag Kare, Upri Chakra Ko Yaan. ...14. |
Repeat, reflect on Name,
Ram-Ram, Tis sacred word protects from sin, Awakens vital force lying asleep, Takes it to the higher chakras within. |
| With
rapt attention meditate upon 'Ram-Naam' believing it to be means of
upliftment, ennoblement and salvation. This awakens and leads the Inner
Being vertically upward.
‘Chakra’: Yoga mentions eight 'Chakras' in the human body : Moolaadhaar, Svaadhisthaan, Manipoor (Naabhi Chakra), Anaahat (Heart), Vishudh (Kanth), Aagyaa (Trikuti), Bindu (Greeva's top) and Sahasraar ( head). ‘Upri-Chakra’: Aagyaa, Bindu and Sahasraar. ...14 |

Just then does from the
Tenth Door, The Grace of God Shri-Ram descend, Does bring with it Wisdom and Joy, And life and song that has no End. |
| Thereon
enters through the tenth gate Sri Ram's Grace that paves the way for
divine knowledge, strength, inner bliss and steadiness.
‘Dasham-Dwaar’ : Human body is an entity with nine gates/passages : Two eyes, two ears, two nasal passages, one mouth, two outlets for human excreta. Tenth doorway is invisible and is located higher than the nine doors. ...15 |

Dev Dayaa Swashakti Kaa, Sahasra Kamal Men Milaap, Ho Satpurush Sanyog Se, Sarva Nasht Hon Paap. ...16. |
'Tis there, in
thousand-leaved-Lotus, Life-Force ascend sand meets the Grace, And all the sins are burnt away In presence of His Blessed Face. |
| With the blessings of a realized saint-soul(Satguru) and God’s Grace, the devotee's 'Kundalini' merges into the lotus with thousand petals - the Supreme Consciousness - Sahasraar and instantly 'destroys' all evils and sins. In fact, sublimation and salvation of the human soul presupposes God's Grace, devotee’s sincere efforts and will - power, and more importantly, Guru's blessings and patronage. The human soul becomes one with the Supreme Soul. Then the devotee transcends the mind and attains complete enlightenment. ...16 | |
