From the Garland of Gurus Sayings the WHO translation

[Guest guest]

Verses 133 and 134. As in a great forest, a roving robust elephant,

seeing the eyes of a lion in the night, loses life and is

eaten up by him, so the ego, named " I, " roving in

the forest of relativity, is killed by the Guru by mere

sight, and is eaten up by Him, out of Grace.
