Chapter 22 uses a powerful analogy of a snake and a rope to illustrate the Guru's role. In dim light, a rope might be mistaken for a snake, creating fear. The text explains that the Guru, Sadguru Sainath, is the creator of this snake-like tendency or illusion, but is also the one who reveals its true form as a rope, thereby removing the fear. As stated in the chapter, "You are the creator of the snake-like tendency, and the one who gives it the form of a rope; You are the creator of fear, And in the end, You are the one who removes it." This highlights the Guru's power over both the creation and dissolution of worldly illusion.
