Chapter 16 employs rich, royal imagery to illustrate the Sadguru's supreme spiritual status. He is described as the 'King of Kings, Universal Monarch' and the 'Guru-King' seated upon the 'throne of peace.' His court is allegorically filled with ministers such as Detachment, Devotion, and Pure Knowledge. According to this chapter, the 'canopy of Pure Consciousness' shines above him, and his sweet speech is compared to a 'river of nectar from the ocean of Vedanta.' This majestic portrayal serves to highlight the Guru's divine authority and his purpose of taking a body to uplift the poor and lowly.
