Can you explain the philosophical concept of the snake and the rope as presented in the invocations of Chapter 22?

In its opening verses, Chapter 22 uses the classic metaphor of the snake and the rope to explain the Sadguru's divine nature. It describes how in dim light, a rope can be mistaken for a snake, creating fear. The Sadguru, Sai Baba, is identified as both the creator of this snake-like illusion and the one who removes the fear by revealing the rope's true form in the light. The text states, "You are the creator of fear, And in the end, You are the one who removes it." This illustrates the Guru's role as the master of both illusion (maya) and the knowledge that dispels it, guiding devotees from ignorance to truth.
