Chapter 46 provides a specific and interconnected definition of these spiritual concepts. It defines 'Dharma' simply as loving devotion to the Guru. 'Knowledge' is described as understanding the secret that "all this is Me," implying a non-dual perception of reality. Supreme 'Detachment' is defined as a natural aversion to worldly objects. The chapter suggests a causal link: true devotion to the Guru is the foundation. When performed with heart and soul, it brings peace, detachment, and fame under its control. For such a devotee, Chapter 46 claims, even the state of Brahman-realization serves like a maid-servant, highlighting the supreme power of devotion.
