Chapter 41 mentions that focusing on the Guru's feet with love allows one to see the Guru's care. How does the chapter elaborate on the power of Guru's grace versus personal effort?

📖 Chapter 41

Chapter 41 draws a distinct contrast between personal effort and the power of the Guru's grace. The text explicitly states that a devotee can "see that for yourself through excellent experience by keeping love at the Guru’s feet," implying that the Guru tirelessly looks after their well-being. It further elaborates on this concept by asserting, "That which cannot be attained even by great effort is set in motion by the power of the Guru’s grace." As explained in Chapter 41, this grace is so profound that even those who came with false pride to critically inspect Sai ended up abandoning their ego, filled with the joy of His Darshan. This underscores the teaching that surrender and love for the Guru unlock a divine assistance that transcends the limitations of individual striving.
