Paragraph 44

In plain words

The Master: Not eight bonds; eight fetters. What if they are there? By His grace the eight fetters can go in an instant. Do you know how? Think of a room dark these thousand years: bring in a lamp, and the darkness flees in a moment! It doesn't go little by little! Have you seen a conjurer at his tricks? He ties one end of a rope full of knots to something, holds the other end in his hand, and gives the rope a shake or two. No sooner does he shake it than all the knots come undone. Yet others have tried with all their might and could not untie those knots. When the guru's grace comes, every knot is untied in a moment.
