Based on the provided text from Chapter 30, how does Sai Baba empower his followers, and what is the role of a devotee's faith?

According to the teachings in Chapter 30, Sai Baba empowers His followers directly through His grace. It is stated that when Sai bestows His grace, the recipient 'attains inconceivable great power' and the profound 'wealth of discrimination between Self and non-Self.' This implies a deep spiritual awakening and empowerment. The role of the devotee's faith is presented as absolutely crucial. As described in Chapter 30, devotees 'become entranced' by His words, 'stringing together word by word, watching with faith, trusting completely.' This complete trust and unwavering faith is the conduit through which Sai's grace flows to fulfill their heart's desires and make their spiritual path fearless.
