What specific acts of internal worship are highlighted in Chapter 26 as being more valuable than external offerings?

In Chapter 26, the author emphasizes a form of internal worship that is considered superior to external rituals. This devotional practice involves using pure emotions and faith as offerings to the Guru. The chapter beautifully describes this process: washing the Guru's feet with warm tears of joy, applying the 'sandalwood paste' of pure love, clothing Him with true faith, and offering the 'eight-petaled lotus' of the eight-fold sattvic emotions. This internal ritual, performed with a focused mind, is presented as the way to please the Guru and achieve the true fruit of life, demonstrating that sincere feeling is more important than material offerings.
