Based on the text in Chapter 47, what is the significance of a Guru like Sai Baba in the context of worldly existence and the law of Karma?

📖 Chapter 47

Chapter 47 portrays the Guru, Shri Sai, as the ultimate savior from the complexities of worldly life and the otherwise inescapable law of Karma. His holy face is described as an "abode of supreme bliss" that destroys sorrows. The chapter states that by Sai's "merciful glance, one is immediately liberated from the bonds of Karma," and in the "light of the sun of His grace, the firefly of worldly existence hides." This suggests that while Karma's rules are deep and difficult to cross, the Guru's grace provides a direct path to liberation. Chapter 47 reinforces this by noting that while the learned can be deceived by Karma, the "ignorant but faithful are saved," implying that faith in a protector like Sai is paramount.
