Based on Sai Baba's commentary on the Gita, what is the role of a Guru in the pursuit of Knowledge? Is it to teach, or something else?

Sai Baba clarifies that the role of a Guru is not to directly teach or impart Knowledge (Jnana), as Knowledge is beyond words and self-existent. Instead, as explained in Chapter 39, the Guru's primary role is to help the disciple remove the layers of Ignorance (Ajnana) that obscure this inherent Knowledge. Baba compares this to skillfully removing a film from an eye to restore its natural power of seeing. The Guru instructs the disciple about Ignorance, which is a subject fit for speech, and guides them in understanding the nature of Maya. By gaining the Guru's grace, the disciple receives help in sweeping away delusion, allowing their own self-existent Knowledge to shine.
