What does Chapter 46 teach about the power of devotion to the Guru and the rewards it brings?

Chapter 46 glorifies devotion to the Guru, equating it with 'Dharma' itself. It makes a powerful promise that if this devotion is performed with heart and soul, the virtues of Peace, Detachment, and Fame will always remain under the devotee's control. The chapter emphasizes that a devotee with such sincere faith will lack nothing and will obtain whatever they desire without effort. The text elevates this devotion to the highest state, suggesting that even Brahman-realization serves it like a maid-servant and that such a devotee does not even need to ask for liberation. This supreme greatness of devotion is a core teaching in Chapter 46.
