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