The beginning of Chapter 16 portrays the Sadguru, Sai Baba, as a spiritual monarch in a highly allegorical court. He is described as the "Idol seated on the throne of peace" and the "Lord of the Empire of Self-Bliss." This chapter explains that He is fanned by non-duality and Self-experience, holds the umbrella of the state of Self, and wields a brilliant sword of Knowledge that makes the tree of worldly existence tremble. His very presence is a place where the six enemies, like lust and anger, cannot survive for even a moment.
