Based on the narrator's experience, what kind of devotion did the Guru desire above all else?

The narrator's experience, described in Chapter 19, reveals the nature of devotion the Guru truly desired. After offering the 'two paise' of Faith and Patience, the narrator spent twelve years in constant contemplation of their Guru. They state, 'I would gaze at my Guru's face with love day and night; I felt neither hunger nor thirst; without the Guru, my mind was restless.' This intense, unwavering focus was the ultimate offering. The text confirms this by stating, 'This was all my Guru expected; he desired nothing more than this.' The Guru sought not actions or rituals, but the disciple's complete and loving absorption in the Guru's presence.
