Who are the 'eight ministers' said to be in service to the Guru-King in Chapter 16?

In the allegorical description of Sai Baba's divine court, Chapter 16 lists eight qualities and practices as the ministers engaged in his service. These eight ministers represent the key components of the spiritual path that leads to the Guru. They are: Detachment (Vairagya), Devotion (Bhakti), Pure Knowledge (Jnana), Hearing the scriptures (Shravan), Reflection on their meaning (Manan), and deep Meditation (Nididhyasan). The final two ministers mentioned in Chapter 16 are Self-investigation (Atma-vichar) and Realization (Anubhava), which represent the culmination of the spiritual journey.
