The scriptures mention the unity of Guru and devotee. Can you explain this concept of non-duality and how physical separation is viewed?

The concept of non-duality between Guru and devotee is central to the path of surrender. Chapter 27 explains that the Guru and devotee are not two different entities but are inseparable parts of one whole. Any attempt to separate them is futile. The text emphasizes that if one thinks the Guru lives in one village and the disciple in another, this view is merely superficial. For a perfect Guru and a true disciple, duality does not exist, and there is no distance between them. Their connection is eternal, rendering physical separation meaningless. Even the act of a devotee placing their head on the Guru's feet is described as just a 'gross ritual,' as their true union transcends physical actions.
