The loving relationship of Guru-oriented persons is like a line drawn on stone slab and is indelible. That is, the significance of company of Guru oriented persons is, that there is no ill feeling or animosity.
Love of self oriented persons is momentary like a line drawn on water while their enmity remains like a line on a stone slab. It becomes part of their limb.
The love of Guru-oriented persons is like that of wood which keeps the fire hidden in it whereas that of self-willed persons is contrary to it. Pure water of river Ganges when mixed with wine becomes polluted but when wine is mixed with the water of river
A person with base and impure mind is like a snake who commits evil due to its bad trait. It is always ready to harm. But a Guru-oriented person is like a goat which is always ready to do a good deed. (297)
