As detailed in Chapter 48, the relationship is marked by the Sadguru's complete lack of ego and selfless devotion to the disciple. A true Sadguru is free from the egoism of thinking the disciple is insignificant. Instead, they see the disciple as the Supreme Brahman and hold a fatherly love for them. Crucially, a Sadguru 'never even dreams of receiving service from a disciple' and does not desire their own livelihood from them. In fact, the text states a Sadguru wishes to 'sacrifice his own body for the sake of the disciple,' highlighting a dynamic of pure giving and protection.
