When Baba refers to himself as the 'puppeteer (Sutradhari)' of the 'divine string' and the one 'residing in the heart,' he is describing his absolute omnipresence and control over the universe. As explained in Chapter 3, he is the master of all, the creator, sustainer, and destroyer, pervading all things, both moving and unmoving. The implication for forgetting this fundamental truth is severe. The text warns that if Baba is forgotten, 'Maya blows away (the person) like dry grass.' Conversely, for one who focuses on him, there is 'no difficulty whatsoever.' This highlights the critical importance of maintaining constant remembrance of the divine for spiritual stability and protection from worldly illusion.
What does Baba mean when he says, 'I am the one residing in the heart... This entire divine string—I am its puppeteer (Sutradhari)'? What are the implications for someone who forgets this truth?
