Characteristics of Sectarians
The wrong perception about a guru would include similar perception for the divinity as well. That constitutes Mithyätva (wrong belief), which is the principal cause of transmigration and worldly wandering.

He considers the appearance of the Lord’s body and the splendor of his assembly, etc. as the description of the Lord and restricts his thinking to it. (25)
Explanation & Discussion: After describing the sectarian approach arising from the wrong perception of guru, this stanza relates to one arising from the misconception about the state of Lords. A sectarian has faith in the omniscient Lords, but he has misconceptions about their true image. Every soul has infinite capabilities and the omniscient Lords have fully manifested the same. They have thus attained perfect purity and are endowed with many accomplishments. Even the heavenly beings take pride in serving them.
The Lords also have marvelous bodies. Most people are amazed to know about the magnificent physique, pomp & splendor associated with their assemblies and movement. When they read that the Lords' assemblies are organized by celestial beings, are splendidly decorated with jewels, diamonds etc. and that the golden lotuses are placed wherever the Lords put their feet, they are awe-struck and believe that those aspects constitute the main attributes
