Can you explain the concept of 'internal ritual of worship' as described in Chapter 26 and why it is considered superior?

Chapter 26 describes an 'internal ritual of worship' that is deemed superior to external offerings. This form of devotion involves using one's own pure emotions as offerings to the Guru. The text mentions washing the Guru's feet with 'warm tears of joy,' applying the 'sandalwood paste of pure love,' and clothing Him with 'true faith.' As mentioned in Chapter 26, the ultimate offering is the 'eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions,' which is offered with a focused mind to please the Guru and achieve the true fruit of life. This internal method is superior because it transcends physical objects and involves direct, heartfelt connection.
