Can you explain the analogy of the doctor and the patient in the context of Sai Baba's teachings?

Chapter 27 uses a powerful analogy to describe Sai Baba's methods. It compares Baba to a wise doctor and a devotee to a patient who doesn't understand what's best for them. The patient might insist on something sweet but harmful, like jaggery, and refuse the necessary medicine. The doctor, knowing this, cleverly uses a trick by giving the jaggery first to persuade the patient to take the medicine. This illustrates how Baba would sometimes appear to indulge a devotee's immediate desire in order to guide them towards their ultimate spiritual benefit, changing the 'vehicle' or medium to achieve his benevolent purpose without using force.
