What metaphors does the text use to describe the nature of Sai Baba's love and grace toward his devotees?

πŸ“– Chapter 3

Chapter 3 uses several poignant metaphors to convey the depth and spontaneity of Sai Baba's love. One key image is that of a motherly cow that feels an uncontrollable surge of milk for its calf; this is likened to Sai's natural and abundant love that he cannot withhold from his devotees. The text also compares Baba to a "cloud of joy (mother)" that rains down to quench the thirst of a devotee, who is represented as a "Chataka bird." This theme is further developed by comparing the Sadguru's actions to a mother who knows her child's hunger without being asked and provides the breast, highlighting the intuitive and selfless nature of the Guru's compassion and grace, as detailed in Chapter 3.
