According to the text, if a person has devotion with faith, is that all they need since Sai Baba is 'always subservient' to them?

While the text emphasizes the supreme importance of faith and devotion, it does not suggest that all other efforts are meaningless. In Chapter 2, Sai Baba states, 'Where there is devotion with faith, I am always subservient.' However, this is presented within a broader context of spiritual practice. For instance, Baba also instructs the author to 'dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet,' which is an active spiritual discipline. Furthermore, he encourages the practices of hearing, singing, and contemplating his stories. The subservience of Baba is a promise of divine assistance to those who are sincerely on the path, which, as Chapter 2 describes, involves surrendering the ego and engaging in devotional activities.
