What analogy is used to describe the ideal relationship between a disciple and their Guru?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 45

Chapter 45 employs the powerful analogy of a chaste and devoted wife, or 'Pativrata,' to illustrate the ideal love a disciple should have for their Guru. Just as a devoted wife respects other family members but holds her husband as her one and only lifelong support, a disciple's heart should be similarly steady. Her love is boundless and singular, and she never entertains the thought of another man as her husband. In the same way, the text explains, a disciple should feel such singular and exclusive love for the Guru's feet, making the Guru the sole focus of their spiritual devotion and reliance.
