Can you explain the metaphorical description of the Sadguru's divine assembly and attributes as detailed in Chapter 16?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 paints a magnificent, allegorical picture of the Sadguru's divine state. He is depicted as a king on a throne of peace, with the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas acting as his bards. The text describes a canopy of Pure Consciousness shining above him, spreading Self-bliss. His eight ministers are personified spiritual concepts: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing, Reflection, Meditation, Self-investigation, and Realization. Further, as Chapter 16 elaborates, Peace and Self-control are the divine gems adorning his neck, and his speech is the nectar from the ocean of Vedanta, making his entire being a symbol of the highest spiritual attainment.
