Chapter 22 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra uses a powerful metaphor to describe Sadguru Sainath's role in creating and dispelling illusion. It compares the misperception of a rope as a snake in dim light to worldly illusion. The chapter states that the Sadguru is the creator of both the "snake-like tendency" (illusion) and the one who reveals its true form as a "rope" (reality). He is the creator of fear and ultimately the one who removes it. This teaching emphasizes that before creation, in total darkness, there was neither snake nor rope, and this formless state is also an aspect of the Sadguru. Thus, he is portrayed as the ultimate source of both the illusion and the enlightenment that dispels it.
