Can you explain the metaphor of the ant and the jaggery in the context of devotion to Sai?

In Chapter 27, a powerful analogy is used to teach devotees how to approach their Guru. It advises one to 'hide at Sai's feet' with the same tenacity as an ant that is greedy for the sweetness of jaggery. This ant, the text explains, will not leave the jaggery even if its head is severed. This metaphor illustrates that a devotee's faith and surrender should be just as intense and unwavering. By clinging to the Guru with such single-minded determination, the devotee can be assured that the Guru, who is the 'protector of the surrendered,' will shield them with the 'abundance of his grace' and ensure their welfare.
