How does Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra use the metaphor of a king and his court to describe Sai Baba?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 portrays Sai Baba as a Universal Monarch seated on a throne of peace. In this divine court, He is fanned on both sides by 'chowries' representing Self-experience and immediate realization. The text describes the canopy above Him as Pure Consciousness, spreading bliss everywhere. Furthermore, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas are depicted as the bards singing His glory. This elaborate royal metaphor, as explained in Chapter 16, serves to illustrate the supreme spiritual state of the Guru, who is the Lord of the Empire of Self-Bliss and whose presence dispels the illusions of Maya.
