In Chapter 21, a detailed analogy is used to explain the coordinated work of saints. It compares the divine to a "sovereign King" or an "Emperor of Self-bliss." Just as a king establishes outposts in various parts of his territory and appoints officers to ensure order and prosperity, this spiritual Emperor takes incarnations as saints in different places. These saints act like the king's officers, managing their designated areas and invisibly "pulling the strings" to drive the "chariot of His kingdom." This metaphor illustrates that saints are not isolated figures but are part of a grand, divinely orchestrated system.
