What is the meaning behind the mother cat and her kittens analogy described in Chapter 15?

πŸ“– Chapter 15

The analogy of the mother cat and her kittens in Chapter 15 serves to illustrate the tender and responsive relationship between Sai Baba and his devotees. Just as kittens run to and lovingly cling to their mother upon her return, devotees approach Sai with loving prayers seeking his vision. The text notes that the mother cat may initially growl, causing the kittens to pause, but she soon quiets down. Similarly, Sai, being pleased by the persistence of his followers, grants them his attention. As the kittens swarm and cling again with love, milk begins to flow, showing how Sai, moved by devotion, forgets any initial reticence and showers his grace and affection upon his followers. This beautiful depiction of divine response to loving prayer is a key message of Chapter 15.
