Chapter 26 highlights that internal worship is superior to external offerings. The ideal devotional acts include washing the Guru's feet with "warm tears of joy," applying the "sandalwood paste of pure love," and clothing the Guru with "true faith." This chapter also describes the offering of the "eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions" with a focused mind to achieve life's true fruit. For daily practice, the constant company of the Guru is considered the scriptures, listening to their life-story is a sacred reading, and the unceasing chanting of their name is the highest form of devotional singing and meditation.
