Can you explain the metaphorical description of the Sadguru's royal court or assembly as presented in Chapter 16?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 uses a grand metaphor, depicting the Sadguru as a king on a "throne of peace" in a magnificent assembly. This court represents the state of Self-realization. In this imagery, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas act as bards singing his praises. The ministers engaged in his service are personified spiritual qualities, namely Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing, Reflection, and Meditation. The canopy shining above is Pure Consciousness, and the ornaments around His neck are the divine gems of Peace and Self-control. This entire royal scene from Chapter 16 serves to illustrate the splendor and supreme spiritual authority of the Guru.
