What did Sai Baba's Guru truly desire from him as a disciple, beyond any material offerings?

As Sai Baba lovingly recounts in Chapter 19, his Guru's true desire was for his complete and unwavering attention and devotion. Baba states, 'This was all my Guru expected; he desired nothing more than this.' He describes how he would 'gaze at my Guru's face with love day and night,' feeling neither hunger nor thirst, and how his mind was restless without his Guru. This constant, loving contemplation was the ultimate offering. The Guru, in turn, was a 'veritable idol of devotion and love,' who never neglected Baba and always provided protection, showing that the deepest Guru-disciple bond is built on mutual love and focused consciousness, not material exchange.
