As detailed in Chapter 16, the Sadguru is portrayed as a magnificent spiritual monarch, the 'King of Kings' seated on a 'throne of peace.' His court includes ministers like Detachment and Devotion, and bards such as the Vedas and Puranas. He is described as having taken a physical body to uplift the poor and lowly. The chapter emphasizes that a Sadguru is always 'Aptakama' (one whose desires are fulfilled) and their true purpose is to make the disciple desireless. Therefore, any offering, even a simple leaf or flower, must be made with sincere faith and love, not with pride, to be accepted.
