O great Goddess, one’s behavior with the Guru
is of utmost importance. One should never
behave egotistically before the Guru. Never
tell a lie to the Guru or speak discourteously
to him. Never speak ill of the Guru or forsake
him, even if you don’t understand his actions.
Remember the Guru for all eternity. If you
ignore this teaching, in spite of hearing it, you
will risk a most dreadful fate, which will last
as long as the sun and moon both shine.
