I am seeking a spiritual guide. What practical signs does Chapter 48 of Sai Satcharitra suggest I look for to identify a genuine Sadguru?

If you are seeking a spiritual guide, Chapter 48 of Sai Satcharitra offers valuable advice. The text suggests you look for a master who can provide direct, full experience, not just eloquent explanations of principles. A key sign of a Sadguru's presence is a place of 'supreme peace' where there is no pride in scholarship and 'the small and the great are treated as equals'. Most importantly, the chapter highlights a selfless attitude: a true Sadguru is one who wishes to serve the disciple, not be served by them. They have a fatherly love and are free from ego, which is a crucial sign to look for.
