Based on the texts, how did Sai Baba treat people who had wronged him, and what does this show about his character?

Sai Baba demonstrated profound mercy and forgiveness towards those who had wronged him. After the miracle of the water-lit lamps, the villagers who had previously harassed and insulted him became very scared. However, Chapter 0 reveals that Maharaj was 'completely merciful.' His guiding principle was not merely to be good to those who were good to him, but 'to do good even to them!' This shows a character of immense compassion, forgiveness, and paternal care for all. Despite having a 'sharp nature' that could keep people at a distance, he loved all people, cared for them like a father, and would even provide warnings of impending calamities to the village, highlighting his selfless and benevolent nature as detailed in Chapter 0.
