Chapter 37 emphasizes that the Guru is central to spiritual progress and finding peace. It advises that the mind should be tied to the 'hitching post of the Guru's feet,' just as a satisfied calf stays near its mother. Gaining the Guru's grace is paramount, and this is achieved by bowing to the 'pollen of His lotus feet,' which awakens beneficial knowledge. Furthermore, the text likens the dust of the Guru's feet to a magical ointment that can reveal the hidden treasure of knowledge and science to a seeker. Ultimately, the all-pervading, true essence of the Self is described as the form of the Guru.
