Accepting the initiation sermon of the True Guru turns the outward vision of a person into divine vision. But the base wisdom makes a person blind despite the presence of eyes. Such a person is bereft of knowledge.
With the sermon of the True Guru, the tight shut doors of the consciousness become ajar whereas this does not happen in the case of a person of base wisdom and self will.
By adopting the counsel of the True Guru, one relishes the elixir of God's love perpetually. But base wisdom emanates foul smell from the mouth as a result of ill and bad words spoken.
Adopting the wisdom of True Guru produces true love and peace. He is never touched by happiness or sorrow in this state. However, base wisdom remains a cause of discord, quarrels and distress. (176)
