How does Chapter 47 illustrate the power and significance of Sai Baba's grace for a devotee?

Chapter 47 powerfully illustrates the transformative significance of Sai Baba's grace. It begins by describing his holy face as the 'abode of supreme bliss,' which can destroy the sorrows of infinite births with just a momentary glance. According to the chapter, his merciful gaze immediately liberates devotees from the bonds of Karma and allows them to attain the nourishment of self-bliss. The text uses a powerful analogy, comparing the River Ganges, which becomes soiled washing away the world's sins, desiring the dust from a saint's feet for its own purification. As Chapter 47 explains, in the light of Sai's grace, the complications of worldly existence vanish, just as a firefly loses its luster in the presence of the sun.
