Chapter 22 uses the metaphor of a snake and a rope. What does this metaphor illustrate about the Sadguru's power?

The metaphor of the snake and the rope in Chapter 22 is used to powerfully illustrate the Sadguru's absolute control over illusion and reality. The chapter explains that in dim light, a rope can be mistaken for a snake, creating fear. It posits that the Sadguru is the 'creator of the snake-like tendency,' meaning He is the source of the illusion itself. However, as the source text of Chapter 22 clarifies, He is also the 'one who gives it the form of a rope' and ultimately 'the one who removes' the fear. This demonstrates His supreme power to both cast the veil of worldly illusion and lift it for His devotees.
