Chapter 50 draws a profound distinction between different types of fathers. While a worldly father gives physical birth by placing a seed in the womb, the Sadguru is described as an extraordinary progenitor who provides a spiritual rebirth. According to the text, the Sadguru, without any physical process, gives birth to a disciple through full initiation, or 'Anugraha.' This spiritual birth is paramount because, as Chapter 50 explains, the Sadguru is the 'remover of birth and death,' capable of ending the cycle of reincarnation, a feat the worldly father cannot accomplish. Thus, the Sadguru is presented as the true father in a spiritual sense.
