Can you analyze the "bitter medicine" analogy from Chapter 25 in the context of Sai Baba's advice to Damu Anna?

The analogy of a mother giving a child bitter medicine, detailed in Chapter 25, perfectly illustrates Sai Baba's interaction with Damu Anna. Just as a child cannot comprehend the future healing properties of the unpleasant medicine, Damu Anna was initially dejected when Baba discouraged his business ideas. The "bitterness" was Baba's refusal to endorse what seemed like a profitable venture. The medicine's true quality was proven correct later when the business failed disastrously, saving Anna from financial ruin. This shows how a Guru's guidance, though it may seem disappointing at the moment, is rooted in a deep, protective love and an understanding of future events that the devotee cannot yet see.
