Can you describe the relationship Sai Baba had with his Guru? It sounds like it was very intense.

According to Chapter 19, Sai Baba's relationship with his Guru was one of profound love and intense devotion. Baba served him for twelve years, during which the Guru provided for all his needs and showed him immense love. Baba describes his own state as being completely absorbed in his teacher, stating, "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 constant contemplation was the only thing his Guru expected from him. The Guru's protection was subtle yet powerful, described as being like a mother tortoise who nurtures her young from afar with her loving gaze alone.
