What does Chapter 48 reveal about the ideal relationship between a Sadguru and a disciple concerning service and material support?

📖 Chapter 48

Chapter 48 paints a picture of a completely selfless and non-transactional relationship. It explicitly states that a genuine Sadguru is one 'who never even dreams of receiving service from a disciple.' Going further, the chapter explains that a Sadguru's inclination is the opposite; they are willing to sacrifice their own body for the disciple's welfare. In addition, the text notes that a superior Sadguru does not desire their own livelihood from the disciple. This demonstrates that the ideal bond is based on a Sadguru's fatherly love and unconditional guidance, entirely free from any expectation of personal service or financial gain from the follower.
