Chapter 26 describes a form of 'internal ritual of worship.' Can you detail what this worship entails and why it's considered superior?

📖 Chapter 26

Chapter 26 presents a form of internal worship that is explicitly stated to be "superior to external offerings." This deeply personal ritual involves devotion expressed through pure emotion and faith rather than physical items. The text poetically describes this process: "We shall wash Your feet with warm tears of joy; we shall apply the sandalwood paste of pure love and clothe You with true faith." Furthermore, as detailed in this chapter, it involves offering the "eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions" with a focused mind. This internal practice is highlighted as the path to truly please the Guru and achieve the real fruit of life.
