Chapter 48 provides a profound description of the Sadguru's selfless disposition towards their disciples. A true Sadguru is defined as being completely free from the egoism of viewing themselves as superior and the disciple as insignificant. In fact, the text states that a Sadguru considers the disciple to be the Supreme Brahman and has a 'fatherly love' for them. As emphasized in Chapter 48, a Sadguru never even dreams of receiving service from a disciple; on the contrary, they are willing to sacrifice their own body for the disciple's welfare. They do not seek their livelihood from the disciple, a quality that makes them 'the most superior in the world.'
