What are the key metaphors used in Chapter 16 to depict the Sadguru's spiritual court and authority?

πŸ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 employs a rich tapestry of metaphors to illustrate the Sadguru's divine stature. He is presented as a 'Universal Monarch' whose kingdom is Self-Bliss. His court is filled with symbolic figures: the Vedas, Shastras, and Puranas are the 'bards'; virtues like Detachment, Devotion, and Pure Knowledge are the 'eight ministers' engaged in his service. The 'canopy of Pure Consciousness' shines above him, and his 'sweet speech' is compared to the nectar from the ocean of Vedanta. Finally, his 'sword of Knowledge' is so potent that the mere sight of it makes the 'tree of worldly existence' tremble, signifying his power to destroy illusion, as detailed throughout this chapter.
