How does Baba illustrate the ideal Guru-disciple relationship through the lens of faith and constant contemplation?

Sai Baba illustrates the ideal Guru-disciple dynamic in Chapter 19 by recounting his own experience. He explains that after offering Faith (Nishtha) and Patience (Saburi), he spent twelve years at his Guru's feet. His devotion was so complete that he would gaze at his Guru's face day and night, feeling neither hunger nor thirst. His mind knew no other goal or meditation besides his Guru; this constant contemplation was the only thing his Guru expected or desired. This narrative shows that the relationship is not based on transactions but on the disciple's unwavering faith, love, and focus, which the Guru reciprocates with immense love and protection.
