According to Chapter 40, what is the nature of Sai Baba's relationship with his devotees and how does he respond to their devotion?

Chapter 40 beautifully illustrates Sai Baba's profound and compassionate relationship with His devotees. The text explains that when a devotee offers a full prostration and seeks exclusive refuge, Sai embraces them in His heart, dissolving the sense of separation. He is compared to a 'compassionate mother to her infant,' who comes running to His devotees wherever they may be. The chapter also notes that Sai derives 'supreme satisfaction' when a devotee offers food with love. This highlights a reciprocal relationship where Sai, though pervading the universe, is deeply attentive and responsive to the sincere devotion of His followers, running to their aid and cherishing their offerings.
