## Ninth Chapter
205. Mahabala, in this existence too, the Self-Enlightened One, the Guru, is ours. He has bestowed upon us the right vision, and now, especially, he has done so. ||12||
373. If there were no association with Gurus in the world, there would be no attainment of virtues. Without the attainment of virtues, where would the birth of any being be fruitful? ||373||
17. Just as a metal, when infused with the right essence, attains the state of gold, so too, the soul, when infused with the virtues of the Guru, attains purity. ||17||
105. Just as one cannot cross the ocean without a boat, so too, one cannot cross this ocean of existence without the guidance of the Guru. ||105||
17. Just as a blind person cannot see objects without a lamp, so too, this being cannot know the soul, non-soul, and other things without the guidance of a teacher. ||17||
17. In this world, both brothers and Gurus are for the happiness of humans. But brothers bring happiness only in this world, while Gurus bring happiness in both this world and the next, in a special way. ||17||
18. Since we have attained this purity through the instructions of the Guru, we wish that our devotion to the Guru's lotus feet may remain even in future births. ||18||
19. Thinking in this way, the right faith of Bajjangh became very firm. This faith will be like a wish-fulfilling tree for him, bearing all desired fruits. ||19||
18. Shrimati also had the same thoughts as Bajjangh, so her right faith also became firm. Both of them had the same nature, so there was an unbroken love between them. ||18||
18. Thus, enjoying their lives with love, three Palyas of time passed for them. ||18||
182. At the end of their lives, they happily gave up their bodies and, with the remaining merit, reached the Aishana heaven, just as one moves from one house to another. ||182||
183. Just as clouds appear on their own during the rainy season and disappear on their own in due time, so too, the bodies of beings in the realm of enjoyment appear on their own and disappear on their own at the end of life. ||183||
184. Just as there is no possibility of impurities in the Vaikriya body, so too, there is no possibility of impurities in the bodies of those who have attained the right vision. ||184||
