Hemadpant has given us a novel form of worship.  Let us , he says, use hot water in the form of tears of joy to wash the Sadguru's feet, let us besmear His body with sandle-paste if pure love, let us cover His body with the cloth of true faith, let us offer eight lotuses in the form of our eight Satwik emotions and fruit in the form of our concentrated mind; let us apply to His head bukka (black-powder) in the form of devotion, and tie the waistband of Bhakti, and place our neck (head) at his toes.

Let us, therefore, worship the Sadguru and pray to him to give us the true vision, which is nothing but God-Vision.

It is only the Sadguru that opens the eyes of our understanding and enables us to see things in their true light, and not as they appear.

Just as we mistake a rope or a garland for a serpent, on account of darkness, we always see the phenomena, i.e., things as they outwardly appear, and not the Noumenon, which underlies all the visible things.

All the things, that we see in the universe are nothing but a play of Maya-the creative power of the Lord.  These things really do not really exist.  What really exists in the Real Absolute.

Generally, all people like wit and humour, but they do not like that jokes should be cut at their expense.  But Baba's method was peculiar; when it was accompanied with gestures, it was very interesting and instructive, and the people, therefore, did not mind if they were held up to the ridicule.

To say that, we shall state such and such in the next or this Chapter, is a sort of egoism.  Unless, we surrender our ego to the feet of our Sad-guru, we will not succeed in our undertaking.  If we become egoless, then our success is assured.
