Can you explain the elaborate metaphors used in Chapter 16 to describe the Sadguru's spiritual 'court'?

πŸ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra employs rich, allegorical language to describe the Sadguru's divine assembly. The Sadguru is the 'King of Kings,' and the bards who sing his praises are the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas. The canopy shining above him is 'Pure Consciousness.' In this spiritual court, his eight ministers are key aspects of spiritual practice: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. The ornaments he wears are 'Peace and Self-control.' This elaborate metaphorical court described in Chapter 16 illustrates that a true Sadguru embodies and is surrounded by the highest principles and practices of spirituality.
