Chapter 16 opens with a grand metaphorical description of the Sadguru as a king. He is depicted as the "Idol seated on the throne of peace" and the "Lord of the Empire of Self-Bliss." In this divine court, devotion and Self-experience act as fans (chowries), while the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas are the bards singing his praise. As detailed in this chapter, the canopy over this court is made of Pure Consciousness, and his eight ministers include virtues like Detachment, Devotion, and Pure Knowledge, all engaged in his service.
How does Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra use the metaphor of a royal court to describe the Sadguru?
