The relationship was one of immense love, constant contemplation, and profound joy. Chapter 19 portrays the Guru as a "veritable idol of devotion and love" who had true affection for his disciple. Baba recounts his experience: "I would gaze at my Guru's face with love day and night; I felt neither hunger nor thirst; without the Guru, my mind was restless." This intense connection meant that even when physically apart, the bond was unbroken, as Baba felt he was always protected by his Guru's "merciful glance." It was a relationship where the disciple's entire being was joyfully absorbed in the Guru.
