Chapter 16 presents the Guru as a Universal Monarch seated on a "throne of peace." In this magnificent assembly, His royalty is symbolic of spiritual states. For instance, as detailed in Chapter 16, Self-experience and immediate realization are the attendants waving fans (chowries), while the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas serve as the court bards. The canopy over this court is Pure Consciousness, and his ornaments are Peace and Self-control. This elaborate metaphor illustrates the supreme spiritual state of the Sadguru, where all aspects of knowledge and realization are in his service.
Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra describes a metaphorical royal court for the Guru. Can you explain this imagery?
