Based on Chapter 30, what is the relationship between Sai as a Guru and his devotees?

Chapter 30 beautifully illustrates the intimate and compassionate relationship between Sai Baba as a Guru and his followers. He is referred to as the 'Acharya (teacher) of the assembly of saints,' for whom the sacred duty of 'uplifting one's own devotees is always unavoidable.' This highlights his unwavering commitment. The chapter emphasizes his omniscience in this role, stating that 'Sai Nath knows completely the heart's desires of His own devotees' and is the one who can fulfill them. In response, the devotees are depicted as being completely captivated, craving his words and 'watching with faith, trusting completely.' This creates a dynamic of a loving, all-knowing Guru and his trusting, entranced disciples.
