Chapter 11 provides clear instructions for devotees on how to approach worship. It advises that faith in the Guru's word should be the devotee's seat, and they should renounce all worldly desires to perform worship with firm resolve. The chapter states that the King of Gurus exists in seven forms for worship: the idol, the sacrificial ground, fire, light, the sun, water, and the Brahmin, but it encourages exclusive worship of the Guru. By holding the Guru's feet with total devotion, the text suggests, the devotee can experience the wonder of the Guru fluctuating as the Supreme Brahman, making meditation on the manifest form a powerful spiritual practice.
