What two main analogies are used in Chapter 21 to explain the nature of Saints and the challenges of a worldly position?

πŸ“– Chapter 21

Chapter 21 of the Sai Satcharitra employs two distinct analogies to illustrate its points. First, to explain the interconnectedness of Saints, it compares them to officers appointed by a "sovereign King" or "Emperor of Self-bliss." Just as a king establishes outposts in various places to manage his kingdom, Saints appear in different locations but are all part of one divine administration, invisibly connected and working towards a common purpose. The second analogy describes the post of a Mamlatdar. The position is likened to a hill that looks beautiful and inviting from a distance but is surrounded by thorny bushes when approached. This metaphor effectively conveys that the job, while appearing prestigious and desirable, was in reality full of difficulties and challenges.
