Chapter 16 mentions 'eight ministers' in service to the Guru-King. What are these ministers, and what do they represent?

In the allegorical depiction of the Sadguru's court, Chapter 16 identifies eight key principles of spiritual practice as his ministers. These eight ministers are listed as Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. Their role as ministers signifies that these qualities and practices are constantly engaged in the service of the ultimate goal, which is the state of Self-Bliss presided over by the Guru. As explained in Chapter 16, they represent the essential components of the path to spiritual enlightenment that a devotee must cultivate.
