Who are the symbolic 'ministers' and what are the 'ornaments' of the Guru-King as detailed in Chapter 16?

📖 Chapter 16

In the allegorical court of the Guru-King described in Chapter 16, there are eight specific ministers engaged in his service. These are not people, but spiritual qualities and practices: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. The chapter further elaborates on his divine adornments, stating that Peace and Self-control are the divine gems that shine as ornaments around His neck. This imagery beautifully illustrates the virtues that constitute the Sadguru's inner circle and personal qualities.
