According to Chapter 28, how does Sai Baba cultivate devotion in his followers?

Chapter 28 explains that Sai Baba cultivates devotion by actively intervening in the lives of his followers, even appearing in their dreams to give them darshan. He would remove their various troubles and help break their addictions to things like liquor, thereby creating a profound love for His own feet. The text describes how He might ask for khichdi from some or even take a stick to beat their backs in the manner of a Guru, all actions meant to guide them. This compassionate nature, as revealed in the chapter, is how He draws devotees closer and ensures their life becomes successful.
