What analogies are used in Chapter 52 to describe the state of non-duality when a devotee merges with the Guru?

πŸ“– Chapter 52

To illustrate the profound concept of non-duality, Chapter 52 uses two powerful analogies. It explains that when a devotee takes refuge in the Guru, any sense of separateness or duality is removed. The first analogy compares this process to a river merging with the sea: "By embracing the ocean, the river forgets its river-ness." This signifies the devotee losing their individual identity to become one with the Guru. The second analogy is of two lamps: "Two lamps become one when they embrace; immediately the state of duality vanishes, And there is only one light in unity," beautifully depicting the complete union and elimination of separation.
