Chapter 27 vividly portrays the profound physical and emotional reactions of a devout devotee listening to the Guru's 'story-nectar.' The text suggests that while listening, a true devotee should experience perspiration breaking out, eyes filling with tears of love, and a captivated life-force. The heart should be moved, goosebumps should rise repeatedly, and even weeping and sobbing may occur. According to this chapter, these experiences signify the awakening of the Guru's grace, which destroys mutual conflicts and the distinctions of small and great. This state is described as an internal one, beyond the reach of the senses, which arises from ultimate faith in the Guru's feet.
