What metaphors and analogies are used in Chapter 47 to describe Sai Baba's grace and the nature of his stories?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 47

Chapter 47 employs several powerful metaphors to illustrate Sai Baba's divine nature and the richness of his stories. Sai's grace is likened to the sun, in whose light "the firefly of worldly existence hides, losing its luster." The purifying power of saints is compared to the River Ganges, which itself seeks the dust from saints' feet to wash away its own impurities. The collection of Sai's stories is described as a vast "ocean," and listening to them is like sitting under the shade of a "Kalpataru (wish-fulfilling tree)," where desires are instantly fulfilled. As Chapter 47 beautifully puts it, for one who has Sai as a protector, there is no lack of the "nectar of stories."
