Chapter 18 uses the analogy of a salt doll entering the ocean. What does this metaphor signify in the context of approaching the Guru?

The metaphor of a salt doll entering the ocean, as presented in Chapter 18, illustrates the profound transformation that occurs when a devotee approaches the Sadguru. Just as a doll made of salt would dissolve and become one with the ocean, never to return in its original form, a seeker who truly approaches the Guru merges with them. Chapter 18 explains that this can never happen, meaning the doll cannot return, signifying a complete dissolution of the individual ego and a merging into the divine consciousness represented by the Guru.
