What does Sai Baba's experience with his own Guru reveal about the ideal Guru-disciple relationship?

Sai Baba's account in Chapter 19 paints a picture of a relationship built on profound love, devotion, and absolute focus. He describes staying at his Guru's feet for twelve years, during which he was raised with immense love and never lacked for food or clothing. The Guru was a 'veritable idol of devotion and love.' For his part, the disciple's devotion was so complete that he would gaze at his Guru's face day and night, feeling neither hunger nor thirst, and his mind was restless without him. This constant contemplation was all the Guru expected. This illustrates that the ideal relationship is one of total surrender and love from the disciple and unwavering protection and affection from the Guru.
