In Chapter 11, an analogy involving ghee is used to explain the relationship between the manifest (Saguna/Sakara) and the unmanifest (Nirguna/Nirakara) aspects of the divine. The text points out that when ghee is frozen, it is still called ghee, and when it melts into a liquid, it is also called ghee. This illustrates that the substance is the same despite its change in form. Similarly, the divine reality is one and the same, whether it is perceived in a manifest form (Saguna) like a Guru or as the formless, unmanifest Absolute (Nirguna). Chapter 11 uses this to teach that "the formed and formless are one" and are not different from each other.
Could you explain the ghee analogy from Chapter 11 and what it teaches about the divine?
