Can you explain the devotional practice known as 'Archan' as described in the text?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 1

The devotional path of 'Archan,' as detailed in Chapter 1, is the expression of love through worship and specific rituals performed for the pleasure of the Guru. This includes acts like tending a garden, picking flowers, and cleaning sacred spaces. The practice involves specific rites such as giving the Guru a five-nectar (Panchamrut) bath, performing incense and lamp worship, offering food (Naivedya), and conducting Arati. A key element is inviting the spark of consciousness from one's own heart into an idol for worship, and then re-establishing it in the heart after the rituals are complete.
