What analogy is used to describe the attitude a listener should have towards Sai's grace, and what does it teach about humility?

The author, speaking with great humility, makes a request of the listeners and provides a powerful analogy for how one should approach Sai Baba. Chapter 27 advises that just as an ant, driven by its greed for the sweetness of jaggery, will not leave it even if its head is severed, a devotee should similarly "hide at Sai's feet." This teaches us that our devotion should be persistent, tenacious, and singularly focused on the Guru. The ant's humble, unwavering pursuit of sweetness is a metaphor for the humility and surrender required to stay close to the Guru, who will in turn protect the devotee with an "abundance of his grace."
