What is the use of meditation? Let abandonment of all sensory objects be done with austerities! / Contemplation is fulfilled; enough with conquering the senses; competent scriptures are sufficient! / Rather, do one thing that destroys existence: obey the guru's instruction out of affection for the guru, / without which all virtues are powerless for one's own welfare, like an army without a leader. // 16
