Baba’s account of his twelve years with his Guru, as shared in Chapter 19, reveals that a true Guru desires devotion and focus, not material things. He explains that his Guru expected nothing more than his disciple's constant loving contemplation. Baba states, "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 unwavering attention was the core of his practice. This, combined with the foundational virtues of Faith and Patience, was the only offering his Guru desired, who in return provided immense love and protection, showing the relationship is built on spiritual connection.
