How does Chapter 10 compare the importance of the Guru to other gods, and what is the recommended way to approach the Guru?

Chapter 10 presents the Guru as the supreme divine entity, stating unequivocally that "All other gods are illusory; the Guru alone is the one eternal God." To cross the ocean of existence (Bhavasagar), one must place complete trust in the Guru, much like trusting a boatman to cross a physical ocean. The recommended approach is simple and requires no material cost. The chapter emphasizes that remembering the Guru with a heart full of love is the "best of all means (Sadhana)," a practice that unties the knot of birth and death and brings great spiritual fruit with little effort.
