The swan can separate the milk from the water; it drinks only the milk, leaving the water untouched. Other birds cannot do so.
Similarly God is intimately mixed up with Mâyâ; ordinary men cannot see Him separately from Mâyâ.
Only the Paramahamsa (the great soul—here is a pun on the word 'hamsa,' which means both soul and swan) throws off Mâyâ, and takes up God only.
