Just as mercury touching gold conceals its real colour but when put in a crucible regains its luster, while the mercury evaporates.
Just as clothes become dirty with filth and dust but when washed with soap and water become clean again.
Just as snake-bite spreads poison in the whole body but with recitation of Garur jaap (a Mantra) all ill effects are destroyed.
Similarly by listening to True Guru's word and meditating on it, all the effects of worldly vices and attachment are eliminated. (All the influence of worldly things (Maya) ends.) (557)
