Based on the provided text, how does Sai Baba treat his devotees who are dedicated to spiritual matters?

The passages from Chapter 41 emphasize that Sai Baba is incredibly loving and affectionate towards his devotees. It is stated that those who have a "true taste for spiritual matters are very dear to Sai." For these individuals, He actively works to ward off all their difficulties and blesses them with the company of self-bliss.
