According to Chapter 11 of the Sai Satcharitra, the correct approach to worship involves deep faith and devotion to the manifest (Saguna) Guru. The text advises devotees to make "faith in the Guru's word" their very seat of meditation. It also stresses the importance of renouncing worldly desires and performing worship with firm resolve. Furthermore, Chapter 11 expands the concept of worship by stating that the Guru, the "King of Gurus," exists in multiple forms, including the idol, the sacrificial ground, fire, light, the sun, and water. By holding the Guru's feet with "total devotion," a devotee can experience the wonder of the Guru fluctuating as the Supreme Brahman, showing that the path is one of complete surrender.
