Chapter 27 paints a vivid picture of the ideal devotional experience while listening to the Guru's "pure story." It is not a passive or purely intellectual activity but a deeply transformative one that engages the entire being. The text describes how a devotee should experience physical manifestations of their love, such as perspiration breaking out over their body, eyes filling with tears of love, and goosebumps rising repeatedly. Emotionally, the heart should be moved, leading to frequent weeping and sobbing. According to Chapter 27, this intense experience signifies the awakening of the Guru's grace, which destroys internal conflicts and leads to the subsiding of the six passions, like lust, making way for supreme love and devotion.
