Can you explain the importance of faith in receiving a Guru's grace, based on the incident with Mirikar and Shama?

The incident involving Mirikar and Shama in Chapter 22 serves as a powerful lesson on the role of faith. After Baba instructed Shama to accompany Mirikar, Mirikar initially dismissed the idea, causing Shama to report back to Baba. In response, Baba delivered a profound teaching: "as is one’s faith, So is the resulting fruit." This suggests that the benefit of a Guru's guidance is not automatic but is directly proportional to the recipient's faith and obedience. Mirikar's subsequent doubt and realization that "Baba's words should have been obeyed" underscore this principle. Baba's further comment that a mother like Dwarkamai cannot protect "faithless" children reinforces that unwavering trust is essential to receive the full measure of the Guru's protection.
