Can you explain the symbolism of the Guru's court as depicted in Chapter 16, including the bards, canopy, and ornaments?

πŸ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 uses rich symbolism to describe the Guru's spiritual empire. The bards who sing praises are not people, but the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas, representing all sacred knowledge. The magnificent canopy overhead is Pure Consciousness, which spreads dense Self-bliss everywhere. The divine gems shining as ornaments around His neck are Peace and Self-control. This entire metaphorical court, as detailed in Chapter 16, illustrates that the Guru's kingdom is not a physical place but a supreme state of spiritual attainment, governed by knowledge, consciousness, and virtue.
