How is the ideal relationship between a disciple and a Guru illustrated in the text?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 45

The text uses the metaphor of a chaste and devoted wife (Pativrata) and her husband to illustrate the ideal bond between a disciple and their Guru. According to chapter 45, just as a devoted wife's love for her husband is singular, boundless, and her heart is steadily fixed on him, a disciple should feel the same way toward their Guru's feet. The text explains that this comparison is made to show the depth of love required, but the love for a Guru is actually without limits. This singular focus means that while one respects others, the Guru remains the sole lifelong support and object of devotion, just as a Pativrata never considers any other man as her husband.
