According to the principles outlined in Chapter 41, how does Sai Baba interact with his devotees who are dedicated to spiritual matters?

Chapter 41 explains that Sai Baba holds a special love and affection for devotees who have a genuine taste for spiritual pursuits. The text explicitly states that such individuals are very dear to Sai. His interaction with them is profoundly supportive; He actively works to ward off all their difficulties. In place of their troubles, Sai grants them the invaluable "company of self-bliss." The narrative presents the story of Balasaheb Deo as a prime example of this principle, illustrating how Sai not only fulfills a devotee's wish but also provides the "addition of devotion," guiding them on their spiritual journey.
