In a very insightful passage, Chapter 46 offers specific, Guru-centric definitions for key spiritual terms. It defines 'Dharma' not merely as righteousness, but precisely as "loving devotion to the Guru." It then explains that 'Knowledge' is understanding the secret that "all this is Me," which implies realizing the Guru's omnipresence in all of creation. Finally, 'Detachment' is elevated to a supreme state, defined as an "aversion to worldly objects." The significance, as explained in Chapter 46, is that one who masters this devotion lacks nothing; Peace, Detachment, and Fame remain under their control, and even the state of Brahman-realization is said to serve them like a maid-servant.
