Can you elaborate on the analogy of the mother cat and her kittens from Chapter 15 and explain its significance in the context of the Guru-devotee relationship?

📖 Chapter 15

The analogy of the mother cat and her kittens in Chapter 15 serves as a powerful illustration of the Guru-devotee relationship. The chapter describes how kittens run to their mother with love, and she might initially growl in annoyance. However, the kittens only pause briefly before swarming her again with loving persistence. This unwavering affection eventually causes the mother's milk to flow, and she forgets her prior irritation, spreading herself on the ground with affection. This story symbolizes how a devotee's persistent, loving prayers can overcome any initial perceived sternness from the Guru, ultimately pleasing them and causing their grace to flow freely and abundantly.
