Chapter 48 highlights the profound humility and selfless love of a Sadguru. The text explicitly states that a Sadguru is "free from the egoism of thinking 'The disciple is an insignificant thing and the Guru is the greatest of the great'." Instead of seeking service, a Sadguru wishes to sacrifice their own body for the disciple's well-being. They hold a "fatherly love" for their disciple, viewing them as the Supreme Brahman. This chapter also notes that a true Sadguru does not desire their own livelihood from the disciple, making them the "most superior in the world." Their place is one of supreme peace, where the small and great are treated as equals.
