What analogy is used in the text to describe the ideal devotion a disciple should have for their Guru?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 45

The text employs the powerful metaphor of a chaste and devoted wife, or 'Pativrata', to illustrate the ideal bond between a disciple and their Guru. As detailed in Chapter 45, just as a devoted wife's love for her husband is singular, boundless, and her primary support, a disciple's love for their Guru should be similarly exclusive and unwavering. The text clarifies that while this is a useful comparison, the love for a Guru is even more profound and has no limits. This singular focus is contrasted with worldly relationships, which are deemed unreliable for achieving one's ultimate spiritual goal.
