			This verse emphasizes the role of the guru in spiritual growth. It highlights the prerequisites for receiving ātma-jñāna (self-knowledge), which include sincere devotion (bhakti), humility, and service (praśraya). Once the disciple has pleased the guru, they are encouraged to seek deeper understanding of the self. The guru is seen as a crucial guide who illuminates the path of jñāna.
