How did Bayajabai's service to Sai Baba demonstrate her faith, and what were the results of her devotion?

Bayajabai's devotion to Maharaj was profound and unwavering, as described in Chapter 0. She served him faithfully at a time when many other villagers considered him to be mad. Maharaj would go for alms in the village several times a day, and Bayajabai made it a point to never let him leave her doorstep empty-handed, always providing him with food. The text states that the fruit of this selfless service was naturally received by her and her entire family. Her son, Tatya Patil, in particular, was greatly blessed, enjoying a uniquely loving and close relationship with Maharaj, who pampered him like a cherished nephew.
