Chapter 22 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra uses a powerful analogy to explain the Sadguru's role concerning illusion. It compares a misperception in dim light, where a rope appears to be a snake, to worldly delusion. The text explains that the Guru is the 'creator of the snake-like tendency' and the fear it induces, but He is also the one who gives it the 'form of a rope,' thereby removing the fear. In this way, He is described as the ultimate source of both the illusion and its resolution, the one who creates fear and is, in the end, the one who removes it for his devotees.
According to Chapter 22, how is the Sadguru both the creator and remover of illusion?
