Chapter 16 presents a grand, metaphorical description of Sai Baba as a divine monarch. He is depicted as the "King of Kings" and "Guru-King" seated on a "throne of peace." His assembly is a magnificent spiritual court where the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas serve as bards. As detailed in Chapter 16, the canopy over this court is Pure Consciousness, and his eight ministers are personified spiritual practices like Detachment, Devotion, and Self-investigation. His ornaments are Peace and Self-control, and his speech is the nectar from the ocean of Vedanta. This elaborate imagery establishes his supreme spiritual authority and the blissful nature of his divine state.
