Chapter 16 clearly outlines that a disciple's primary duty is to surrender completely to the Sadguru, as he is the ultimate refuge. The path to attaining union with Brahman (Sayujya) lies in humble and faithful service. The text explicitly warns against any form of "cleverness" (Chaturai) or even slight neglect in service, as this will lead the seeker into trouble. A disciple should offer things with sincere faith and love, not with pride, because the Guru is an ocean of Truth and Consciousness who values inner sincerity over outward rituals. Ultimately, firm faith at the Guru's feet is deemed absolutely necessary.
