How does Baba use the analogy of a devoted wife to explain the ideal relationship between a disciple and their Guru?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 45

The text explains that a disciple's devotion to their Guru should be like the singular, boundless love a devoted wife (Pativrata) has for her husband. As detailed in Chapter 45, just as a chaste wife never considers another man as her husband and her heart remains steadily focused on him, a disciple should have a similar singular focus on the Guru's feet. This metaphor, however, has its limits, as the love for a Guru is described as being even greater and without bounds. The core idea is that a true Sai-devotee cannot be called attached to His feet if they haven't learned to be detached from the world, mirroring the wife's unwavering focus on her husband above all others.
