What were the narrator's personal experiences of devotion to his Guru, and what did his Guru expect in return?

The narrator describes a profound and loving relationship with his Guru over twelve years. As mentioned in Chapter 19, he states that there was never a shortage of food or clothing, and his Guru's heart was full of "immense love." His devotion was so complete that he would gaze at his Guru's face day and night, feeling neither hunger nor thirst, and his mind was restless without him. The text emphasizes that this total devotion was precisely what the Guru desired. It states, "This was all my Guru expected; he desired nothing more than this; he never neglected me and always protected me in times of trouble." The only other stated expectation was the offering of the two "paise" of Faith and Patience, which this deep, constant contemplation perfectly embodied.
