How should a devotee ideally respond to their Guru's commands, according to the teachings?

📖 Chapter 23

According to the principles outlined in Chapter 23, a devotee should treat the Guru's command as the ultimate authority, superseding any personal judgment of good or bad. The ideal response is immediate and unwavering obedience, with no room for independent thought or hesitation. The text describes a true devotee as a "servant of the Guru's command," whose mind is focused on the Guru's name and whose entire being is for the Guru's cause. As Chapter 23 explains, one who considers the Guru's words venerable succeeds in all aspects of life, while seeing faults or doubting the Guru leads to a spiritual downfall.
