How do the teachings use the example of Lord Krishna to illustrate the supreme importance of the Sadguru?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 3

The teachings in Chapter 3 powerfully illustrate the Sadguru's supreme importance by referencing Lord Krishna. Despite being the 'complete Brahman' himself, Krishna held the feet of his own Guru, Sandipani, demonstrating profound respect and humility. The text further emphasizes this point by quoting Krishna as saying, 'By remembering the Sadguru, I, Narayana, am satisfied. I like the praise of the Sadguru a thousand times more than my own.' This example serves to show that if even the Supreme Being venerates the Guru, then for an ordinary seeker, turning away from Guru-worship is a grave error that leads to suffering and the endless cycle of birth and death.
