Fire burning outside the stream can be extinguished with the water of the stream, but if the boat in the river catches fire, how can that be extinguished?
बाहर की अगनि बूझत जल सरता कै नाउ मै जउ अगनि लागै कैसे कै बुझाईऐ ।
Escaping from the attack of a robber while out in the open, one can run and take shelter in a fort or such other place but when someone robs in the fort, what can be done then?
बाहर सै भागि ओट लीजीअत कोट गड़ गड़ मै जउ लूटि लीजै कहो कत जाईऐ ।
Fearing the dragon-net of worldly compulsions, if one goes to the door of Guru, and if maya overpowers on him there too, then there is no escape. (544)
