First I pray at the feet of gurudeva who has shown and has made me experience the Supreme Soul who is beyond the comprehensive abilities of mind, speech and sensory perceptions. Gurudeva has lit the lamp of knowledge within me, removed the cover of nature(prakriti), thrown open the tenth door and made me experience  directly the Supreme Being.

O lord! I have left your concious support due to ignorance, because of which I have fallen from your concious abode and I gradually took bodies of Kaivalya,Mahakarana, karana, skushma and sthula. Since then I have channelised my desires in search  of worldly objects. Freedom(Mukti) is state of knowledge and even some faintest of illusion of assuming oneself(soul) as the creator causes the soul to be covered by ego, this is the Kaivalya body. When the ego becomes firmer then the soul takes on the Mahakarana body and gradually takes further the Karana, sukshma and sthula bodies. Now the soul is not in direct with the conciousness of the lord and between the soul and the lord these bodies of nature entangle the soul. Efforts of the soul through these gross appendages are called karmas. In these lines the soul is acceptingits mistakes and describing its pitiful state.
