How does Chapter 15 use the metaphor of the mother cat and her kittens to illustrate the dynamic between Sai and His devotees?

📖 Chapter 15

Chapter 15 presents a powerful metaphor of a mother cat and her kittens to describe the relationship between Sai Baba and his loving devotees. In this analogy, the kittens represent the devotees who eagerly run to cling to their mother, Sai, for nourishment and love. The mother cat might initially seem annoyed and growl, causing the kittens to pause momentarily. However, their persistent love and clinging eventually cause the mother to forget her annoyance and affectionately spread herself on the ground to provide milk. As described in Chapter 15, this illustrates how the persistent and loving devotion of a disciple can overcome any initial reserve from the Guru, ultimately eliciting a flow of grace and affection.
