Chapter 11 mentions that the Guru exists in seven forms for worship. What are these forms and what does this imply about the nature of worship?

Chapter 11 expands the concept of worship by stating that the "King of Gurus" exists in multiple forms beyond just the physical body. It instructs devotees to exclusively worship the Guru in seven specific manifestations: the idol, the sacrificial ground, fire, light, the sun, water, and the Brahmin. As taught in Chapter 11, this implies that a devotee should perceive the Guru's presence in all these fundamental elements and sacred aspects of life and ritual. This holistic approach encourages seeing the divine Guru as all-pervading, transforming various aspects of the world into objects of veneration and connecting the devotee to the Guru's presence everywhere.
