What guidance does Chapter 11 offer on how a devotee should approach worship of the Guru?

πŸ“– Chapter 11

Chapter 11 provides clear instructions on the mindset and practice of Guru-worship. It advises devotees to let "faith in the Guru's word be our seat" and to "renounce all worldly desires and perform worship with this resolve." This emphasizes unwavering faith and detachment as foundational principles. The chapter also expands the concept of the Guru's presence, stating that the "King of Gurus exists" in seven different forms for worship: the idol, the sacrificial ground, fire, light, the sun, water, and the Brahmin. By holding onto the Guru's feet with "total devotion," the devotee can experience the wonder of the Guru fluctuating as the Supreme Brahman, a key promise made in this chapter.
