Chapter 48 outlines a profound and selfless relationship between a Sadguru and their disciple. A true Sadguru is entirely free from the ego of thinking the disciple is insignificant while the Guru is great. On the contrary, the Sadguru is a benefactor who considers the disciple to be a manifestation of the Supreme Brahman and holds a deep, fatherly love for them. This chapter emphasizes that a Sadguru does not desire their own livelihood from the disciple and, most remarkably, never even dreams of receiving service. Instead, a true Sadguru, as described in Chapter 48, wishes to sacrifice their own body for the sake of the disciple, making them the 'most superior in the world.'
How does Chapter 48 of the Sai Satcharitra describe the ideal attitude and relationship a Sadguru should have towards their disciples?
