In the morning, we should visualise the gracious root guru in the sky in front of ourselves, just above the level of the forehead. He appears in the form of a heruka, wearing the ornaments of an enlightened wisdom holder.

With his two hands he plays a bell and drum, and countless numbers of vīra and dākinī surround him, filling the whole sky. 

As we become conscious, we hear the sound of their tinkling bells and rattling drums and then the guru utters the mantric syllable PHAT, and says to us, 

"Oh, child of the buddhas, wake up!" 

Hearing him say this, we become fully conscious.

"Kye ma! From time immemorial until this moment, 
You have been wandering in samsāra because of your ignorance.
 You don't know the real meaning of the Dharma, 
And so you have been wandering in samsāra for aeons.
Due to your ignorance, you have been sleeping here all this time.
Why are you still sleeping like this? 
Why don't you wake up now? 
It is time to turn your mind from sleep and wake up! 
Turning your thoughts toward liberation, 
It is time for you to practise Dharma!"
