This, too, is becoming entrapped in the attractions of maya.
And how can one be freed from maya's clutches? Only by the grace of a Sadguru. If one surrenders to and serves the Sadguru with all his heart and soul, the Sadguru will burn up and destroy all one's maya in a moment — in as much time as it takes to light and burn a match. The Sadguru has such great powers! But one must be prepared for and deserving of this grace! Otherwise, you may continue in your rounds of births and deaths for ages, and there would be no whiff or breeze of Truth for you! Not only will the Sadguru destroy all maya in you, but he will free you from these ceaseless rounds of births and deaths and will enable you to see God in an instant, with a tap on the head! What idea have you of the powers of a Sadguru? None at all! Your hands are now tied by the clutches of maya, and these hands must be released.
If one who is tied presents himself before another whose hands are also tied like his own, he would never be freed. But if he presents himself before the One who is already free, the one in bondage would be freed immediately.
A swine lives mostly on narka [refuse]. Even if you throw the best of foodstuffs or something invaluable before it, it would still prefer filth and refuse first. Only after eating these, would it think of partaking of anything else. In other words, it would prefer the best last. Even if you throw pearls before it, it will still say, "Let me eat the refuse first, and then I will see to these pearls." Here, the "pearls" represent the path of Realization. Your human state is like that of the swine, who prefer refuse to pearls. In spite of my showing you the "pearls" of the path of Realization, you are still attracted and drawn toward the narka of maya. For whom are these pearls meant and destined? For the Royal Geese!
You are all advancing in the direct line! Realization shall be given to those who deserve it and to whom it is due to be given! If there is the Guru's grace, this Realization is the work of a moment — a tap on the head — and Ah! Bliss, Eternal Bliss!
