Just as a filth-eating crow on reaching lake Mansarover, becomes sad since he cannot get filth which he is so used to eating; and a donkey will roll in dust even if it is given a bath with sweet smelling scents.

Similarly, the servant of other gods cannot realise the ecstasy of serving the True Guru, because the chronic and bad habits of the followers of god cannot perish. (445)
