In Chapter 22, the text uses a profound analogy to describe the Sadguru's power over illusion and reality. It explains that in dim light, a rope can be mistaken for a snake, which creates fear. The Sadguru is described as the creator of this snake-like tendency, meaning the illusion itself. However, He is also the one who reveals its true form as a rope, thereby removing the fear He initially created. As Chapter 22 elaborates, before this illusion, there was total darkness where neither the snake nor the rope existed, and this formless state is also the Sadguru, highlighting his role as the source of all perception and reality.
How does Chapter 22 use the analogy of a snake and a rope to explain the Sadguru's nature?
