Just as dream events cannot be seen while awake, just as stars are not visible after sunrise;
Just as the shadow of a tree keeps changing in size with the falling rays of the sun; and the pilgrimage to the holy places does not last for ever.
As the fellow travellers of a boat do not get to travel together again, as the presence of water due to mirage or the imaginary abode of gods (in space) is an illusion.
So does a Guru-conscious person regards mammon, attachment and love of the body an illusion and he keeps his consciousness focused on the divine word of the Guru. (117)
