Beyond philosophical ideas, what specific devotional practices are mentioned in Chapter 26 as a way to connect with the Guru?

Chapter 26 outlines several powerful devotional practices that prioritize internal feeling over external rituals. The text suggests that the daily listening of the Guru's life-story is a form of sacred reading (Parayana), and the unceasing chanting of His name serves as daily meditation and devotional singing. A key practice described in this chapter is a form of internal worship where the devotee washes the Guru's feet with "warm tears of joy," applies the "sandalwood paste of pure love," and clothes Him with "true faith." This form of worship is deemed superior to external offerings. The ultimate offering is the "eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions," which is offered with a focused mind to achieve the true fruit of life.
