What was the single most important thing Baba's Guru expected from him, and how does this apply to devotees?

The single most important thing Sai Baba's Guru expected was his disciple's constant, loving contemplation. Baba stated in Chapter 19, "This was all my Guru expected; he desired nothing more than this." Baba's entire focus was on his Guru; he would gaze at his face with love day and night, and there was no other goal or meditation for him. He directly applied this principle to his own devotees, instructing them, "Look at me with undivided attention, and I will look at you the same way." This implies that the primary practice for a devotee is to maintain unwavering faith and focus on the Guru, trusting that this loving attention is the key to receiving grace and protection.
