Chapter 6 describes Sai Baba placing his hand on devotees' heads. What are the specific transformative effects of this blessing?

Chapter 6 details several profound effects of receiving the Sadguru's touch. The text states that the touch of the Guru's hand is wondrous, capable of burning away the subtle body, or ego, into ashes—something even the fire of dissolution cannot do. This blessing also washes away the accumulated impurities of many past births, making Sai's devotees pure. Furthermore, as described in Chapter 6, it can grant stability to a mind prone to idle gossip and nonsensical speech. This divine contact ultimately awakens supreme bliss and manifests deep emotional responses within the devotee's heart.
