The difference due to association with the Satpurush is that one who would have become enlightened after a hundred births becomes enlightened in this birth; and (if one does not associate) one destined to become enlightened in this birth may have to take a hundred births. These are the two differences. Then Swami gave an example: wood and metal cause each other to float and sink.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. Wood usually floats, and it will cause anything tied to it to float also. For example, one kilogram of metal tied to 10 kilograms of wood will float. Metal usually sinks, and it will cause anything tied to it to sink also. For example, one kilogram of wood tied to 10 kilograms of metal will sink.
