Chapter 3 employs beautiful metaphors to illustrate the nature of Sainath's grace. The author describes himself as a mere pretext, with Sai Himself being the true force behind the work. This relationship is compared to a 'motherly cow' that feels a surge of milk for her calf, indicating that Sai's love and grace flow naturally and generously to his devotees. This is described in the chapter as the 'natural habit' of Sai's love. Another powerful metaphor used is that of Sai being a 'cloud of joy (mother)' that rains to quench the thirst of a 'Chataka bird,' which represents the devotee. This imagery conveys that Sai's grace is abundant and intended to fully satisfy the spiritual thirst of his followers.
