Sai Baba's attitude towards being decorated was one of loving acceptance for the sake of his devotees. Chapter 37 explains that for Him, who was radiant with His own peace and adorned with the jewel of devotion, worldly ornaments like crowns or necklaces held no value. In fact, it's mentioned that He would sometimes throw away a crown or turban if it was touched. However, seeing the eagerness and love of His followers, He would deliberately remain silent and accept their offerings. He extended His neck for the garlands and allowed the decorations, fulfilling the celebratory desires of His devotees with a kind and loving look.
Given his detachment, what was Baba's reaction to being adorned with crowns and jewels?
