Chapter 22 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins with powerful invocations and salutations to the Sadguru, hailing him as the embodiment of bliss, the supreme purifier, and the destroyer of worldly fears. A central theme introduced is the Guru's mastery over illusion, explained through the analogy of a rope being mistaken for a snake in dim light. The text states that the Guru is the creator of this snake-like tendency (illusion) and also the one who ultimately removes it, revealing the true form. As Chapter 22 explains, the Sadguru is the creator of fear and, in the end, the one who removes it, showing his complete control over reality and perception for his devotees.
