Can you explain Sai Baba's unique method of granting grace, particularly in the context of the books devotees brought him?

📖 Chapter 27

Sai Baba's way of granting grace was highly individualized and often surprising, tailored to the devotee's love and disposition. Chapter 27 explains this with an analogy: like a doctor who uses a trick to give a reluctant patient medicine, Baba would use various means to achieve his purpose. When devotees brought books for a blessing, they expected to receive them back. However, Baba, knowing the devotee's inner state, might turn the pages and then give the book to someone else entirely, like Madhavrao (Shama). Through such seemingly casual or humorous acts, he would fulfill a devotee's deeper purpose in a way they hadn't anticipated, demonstrating that his grace wasn't bound by conventional rules.
