Chapter 23 draws a sharp contrast between the outcomes of doubting and obeying a Guru. It explicitly states that if one harbors doubts about the words of a saint, their resolutions will be unsuccessful and their speech will become 'hollow and fruitless,' preventing them from achieving even a bit of spirituality. Seeing faults or 'crookedness' in the Guru's actions causes one to fall down spiritually. Conversely, the text emphasizes that one who considers the Guru's words venerable and follows their command without hesitation succeeds in both worldly and spiritual matters. This unwavering faith, as shown by Kaka Dixit, is considered the greatest merit and is rewarded with an extraordinary surge of divine energy.
