Drawing from his twelve years of service, Sai Baba explains in Chapter 19 that a true Guru's expectations are not material but purely spiritual. While the Guru provided for all physical needs, what he truly desired was the disciple's unwavering focus and devotion. The narrator states, "I would gaze at my Guru's face with love day and night; I felt neither hunger nor thirst." This constant contemplation was the core of the relationship. The text confirms this by stating, "This was all my Guru expected; he desired nothing more than this." Therefore, a Guru expects strong faith, the courage of patience, and a mind solely fixed on him, without any other goal or distraction.
