What kind of devotional practices and internal worship are highlighted as superior in Chapter 26?

Chapter 26 describes a form of internal worship that is considered superior to external rituals. This intimate devotional practice involves using emotions and faith as offerings. The text beautifully illustrates this by stating the devotee will wash the Guru's feet with warm tears of joy, apply the 'sandalwood paste' of pure love, and clothe Him with true faith. Furthermore, the ultimate offering is described as the eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions, offered with a focused mind. This internal ritual, as detailed in Chapter 26, is aimed at pleasing the Guru and achieving the true fruit of life.
