What are the foundational glories of a Sadguru that are praised at the beginning of Chapter 6?

The beginning of Chapter 6 is an invocation that glorifies the role of the Sadguru. It establishes that in both spiritual and worldly matters, a person's life, likened to a boat, will only reach the far shore if the Sadguru is the helmsman. The chapter emphasizes that the very utterance of the word 'Sadguru' brings Sai Baba to mind, who then stands before the devotee and places His hand on their head. This blessing, combined with Udi, fills the heart with bliss. By surrendering with body, speech, and mind to a capable Sadguru like Sai, a devotee can naturally attain the four goals of life—Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha—without even asking.
