What advice did Das Ganu give to the troubled Ratanji, and how does this reflect the text's view on finding a true Guru?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 14

When Ratanji, who was always "immersed in worry" over his lack of a son, confided in Das Ganu, he received very specific advice. As Chapter 14 recounts, Ganu said, "Go to Shirdi; you will obtain your heart's desire." He instructed Ratanji to take Baba's darshan, bow at His feet, and surrender to Him completely. This guidance reflects the text's view that while there are "countless Gurus and disciples," those who can give "the actual experience along with the instruction are rare." Das Ganu directed Ratanji to a perfected being, Sai Baba, whose "handiwork is inconceivable," implying that only such a powerful Guru could resolve Ratanji's deep-seated sorrow.
