Chapter 16 uses powerful allegorical imagery to describe the Sadguru's divine state. He is depicted as a 'King of Kings' seated on a 'throne of peace,' ruling an 'Empire of Self-Bliss.' His court includes ministers like Detachment, Devotion, and Pure Knowledge, while the Vedas, Shastras, and Puranas are his bards. This chapter of the Sai Satcharitra explains that his ornaments are Peace and Self-control, and his speech is like nectar from the ocean of Vedanta. This majestic portrayal serves to illustrate that the Guru is beyond worldly attributes, having taken a physical form solely for the purpose of uplifting the poor and lowly and guiding seekers toward Self-realization.
