Chapter 22 opens with powerful invocations, hailing the Sadguru as the embodiment of bliss, the supreme purifier, and the destroyer of worldly fears. The text explains that the Guru is the source of all mental tendencies, being the one who both creates and restrains them. A key metaphor used is that of a rope mistaken for a snake in dim light; the Guru is described as the creator of this illusion and also the one who ultimately removes it, revealing the truth. As these passages from Chapter 22 highlight, the Guru's true nature is considered formless and so profound that even the Vedas fall silent in their attempts to describe it.
