Chapter 26 discusses internal versus external worship. Can you elaborate on the forms of internal worship described and why they are considered superior?

Chapter 26 advocates for a form of internal worship, or Manas Puja, which it presents as superior to external rituals. The author describes this devotional practice with rich, metaphorical detail: washing Baba's feet with warm tears of joy, applying the 'sandalwood paste of pure love,' and clothing Him with 'true faith.' The chapter further explains that the devotee should offer the 'eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions' with a focused mind. This internal ritual is considered superior because it involves pure love and direct engagement of the devotee's innermost feelings to please the Guru, thereby achieving the true fruit of life as explained in Chapter 26.
