What is the significance of the 24 Gurus of Lord Datta?

Shri Bharath Krishna asked: When I see a particular quality in another human being and like it immensely, that quality attracts me to the person and makes me fall in love with the person. When I express my love, admiration and my willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the person, it pleases the person. Is the case of God being pleased with a climax nivṛtti devotee also the same as the above worldly example? Please forgive me, if I have asked something wrong.

Shri Yash asked: Jai Guru Datta! Guruji, could you please explain the inner meaning of the 24 Gurus of Lord Datta?

Swami replied: You can learn spiritual lessons by observing examples in this world. Practically sacrificing one’s money and efforts for the sake of God, as a result of being inspired by the wonderful personality of God is one such lesson. It can be learnt through the worldly example given by you (Bharath). This is also the answer for the question asked by Shri Yash. The 24 Gurus mentioned by God Datta reveal this very concept. You can learn spiritual concepts by observing various items in this world. Practical spiritual knowledge depends much on the study of such practical examples in the world. An item that serves as an example to teach you a valuable spiritual concept can be treated as your Guru. You can even learn a valuable concept from an inert item, by the will of God.
