The great sage Dutt sat at the gate of that trader alongwith many other sages.442.
The mind of the trader was so much absorbed in earning money that he did not pay attention to the sages even slightly
With closed eyes he was immersed in the expectation of money like a detached hermit.443.
All the kings and poor people who were there, leaving all their doubts fell dwon at the feet of the sages, but that trader was so much immersed in his work that he did not even raise his eyes and see towards the sages.444.
Dutt looking at his position and impact, leaving his persistence, said openly, “If such a love is employed with the Lord, then that supreme Lord can be realized.”445.
End of the description of the adoption of a Trader as the Twentieth Guru.
Now begins the description of the adoption of a parrot-instructor as the twenty-first Guru
CHAUPAI
Adopting twenty Gurus and learning all the arts of Yoga, the sage moved further
His glory, impact and radiance were infinite and it seemed that he had completed all the practices and was roaming, remembering the Name of the Lord.446.
There he saw a person seated with a parrot and for him there was none like it in the world
That person was teaching the parrot the art of speaking he was so much concentrated that he did not know anything else.447.
Dutt, taking with him the sages and a large gathering of silence-observing hermits, passed just before him, but that person did not see anyone from them.448.
That person kept on instructing the parrot and did not talk anything with these persons
The absorption of that persons the love welled up in the mind of the sage.449.
If such a love is applied towards the Lord, only then that Supreme Lord can be realized
Surrendering before him with mind, speech and action, the sage adopted him as his twenty-first Guru.450.
End of the description of the adoption of a parrot-instructor as the Twenty-First Guru.
Now begins the description of the adoption of Ploughman as the Twenty-Second Guru
CHAUPAI
When after adopting his twenty-first Guru, Dutt moved further, then he saw a ploughman
His wife was a great comfort-giving chaste woman.451.
Her husband had called her and she had come with food
That ploughman did not see anything else while ploughing and the attention of the wife was absorbed in her husbadd.452.
