20. Snake

A snake avoids the company of men and lives alone. It has no place of its own to live. So, too, should a sanyaasi be. He should live away from other humans and not have a home of his own, which is the beginning of other bondages.

21. Wasp

The worm that the wasp holds in a shell becomes another wasp in due course of time, as it constantly thinks of the wasp. The dehin (the dweller in the body), too, becomes the object of thought which occupies him to the exclusion of other thoughts. When the mind thinks of the Lord with deep concentration it will, in course of time, become one with the Lord.

22. Spider

A spider, spitting out a thin filament, wove a beautiful web. But after a time it swallowed up the whole web and nothing was left of the beautiful web seen once! So, too, the Lord spins the Universe out of Himself and at the end of the kalpa withdraws the Universe unto Himself.
