What analogies does Chapter 19 use to describe the nature of devotion and the Supreme Reality?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 19

Chapter 19 employs several powerful analogies to illustrate the nature of devotion. It describes how, just as a devotee performs Aarti to the Sun with a small wick or offers a palmful of water back to the vast ocean, our offerings to the divine may seem small or illogical. Similarly, a jaggery idol of Ganesha might be offered a snack of jaggery. The chapter explains that these actions, which might seem inappropriate at first glance, are accepted because divine powers like the Sun and the Ocean look at the devotee's faith rather than weighing the right or wrong of the act. Their goal is to honor the devotee's pure intention.
