ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं केवलं ज्ञानमूर्तिं
द्वन्द्वातीतं गगनसदृशं तत्त्वमस्यादिलक्ष्यम्।
एकं नित्यं विमलमचलं सर्वधीसाक्षिभूतं
भावातीतं त्रिगुणरहितं सद्‌गुरुं तं नमामि॥

brahmānandaṁ paramasukhadaṁ
kevalaṁ jñānamūrtiṁ
dvandvātītaṁ gaganasadṛśaṁ
tattvamasyādi-lakṣyam ।
ekaṁ nityaṁ vimalam acalaṁ
sarvadhī-sākṣi-bhūtaṁ
bhāvātītaṁ triguṇa-rahitaṁ
sadguruṁ taṁ namāmi ॥

I bow to the Sadguru, who is the bliss of Brahman and the bestower of the highest joy. He is absolute. He is knowledge personified. He is beyond duality, all-pervasive like the sky, and the object of the great Upanishadic statement “Thou art That.” He is one. He is eternal. He is pure. He is steady. He is the witness of all thoughts. He is beyond all modifications of mind and body and free from the three gunas.

Shri Guru Gita, verse 89
