In Chapter 22, the analogy of the snake and the rope is used to explain the Sadguru's role in illusion and reality. The text explains that in dim light, a rope can be mistaken for a fearsome snake, but in clear light, its true nature as a rope is revealed. The chapter states that the Sadguru is the creator of both the illusion (the 'snake-like tendency') and the one who reveals the truth (the 'form of a rope'). He is described as the creator of this fear and, ultimately, the one who removes it, showcasing his power over both perception and reality.
