Based on the story of Balasaheb Deo, what does the scripture say about the way Sai Baba helps his followers with their spiritual goals?

Chapter 41 introduces the story of Balasaheb Deo as a prime example of Sai Baba's loving nature towards his devotees. The chapter begins by stating that Sai is particularly affectionate toward those with "a true taste for spiritual matters." His method of helping them involves warding off all their difficulties and granting them "the company of self-bliss." In Deo's case, the difficulty was an internal, spiritual obstacle—his inability to read the Dnyaneshwari. By resolving to wait for Sai's direct intervention, Deo was acting on the faith that Sai would indeed ward off this specific difficulty and fulfill his spiritual wish, demonstrating the principle of divine assistance in a devotee's practice.
