I'm going through a difficult time. What do these teachings say about the Guru's role for someone in distress?

The teachings in Chapter 18 offer significant comfort for those in distress. It is explained that when a soul falls into great misery, it remembers God, and the Lord lovingly arranges a meeting with a saint. For a person weary of the world, like the businessman who suffered a great loss, the Guru is presented as the solution. A saint is described as a 'cloud of mercy,' and even a moment's association with them can steady a restless mind. By seeking the Guru's darshan, following their orders, and engaging in service, one can attain their desired goals and find relief from the threefold miseries of the world.
