Beyond external rituals, what does Chapter 26 describe as the devotee's true daily spiritual practice and form of worship?

📖 Chapter 26

Chapter 26 outlines a profound internal form of worship that transcends external offerings. According to the text, the devotee's true spiritual practice involves making the Guru the center of their existence. Constant company with the Guru is considered their scripture, and listening to His life story is their sacred reading, or 'Parayana'. The unceasing chanting of the Guru's name serves as their devotional singing. The chapter further describes an internal ritual of worship, deemed superior to external acts, which includes washing the Guru's feet with tears of joy, applying the 'sandalwood paste' of pure love, clothing Him with true faith, and offering the 'eight-petaled lotus' of pure, sattvic emotions to please Him.
