What does Chapter 49 of the Sai Satcharitra say about the importance of a Sadguru like Sai Baba?

Chapter 49 of the Sai Satcharitra places immense importance on the Sadguru. The text describes Sai as the "crest-jewel of all saints" and the "resting place for his own devotees." It explicitly states that meditation on one's own Guru is the greatest of all spiritual practices, surpassing even pilgrimages, vows, sacrifices, and the singing of Hari's name. According to this chapter, for His followers, Sai is the sole object of meditation and worship, their most protected treasure. True understanding comes only through surrendering at the Sadguru's feet to receive their grace.
