What is the significance of the Guru in achieving liberation, according to Chapter 45?

Chapter 45 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra places supreme importance on the Guru for attaining liberation. It makes the extraordinary claim that the Guru's feet are even more powerful than Moksha, the traditional supreme goal. The text suggests that by devotedly serving the holy water of the Guru’s feet, Moksha will unknowingly find its way into a devotee's home. It is only when the Guru becomes merciful that worldly life becomes happy, the impossible becomes possible, and the Guru can transport a devotee across the ocean of worldly existence in a single moment, highlighting that the Guru's grace is the most essential element for liberation.
