Just as the Sun may be very harsh and hot but one is unable to cook food without fire.

Just as dew drenches mountains and hay at night but without drinking water, that dew cannot satiate anyone's thirst.

Just as body perspires during summer season that cannot be dried by blowing at it. Fanning alone dries it and gives comfort.

Similarly, serving gods cannot emancipate one from repeated births and deaths. One can achieve the higher spiritual state by becoming an obedient disciple of the True Guru. (471)
