How did Sai Baba, being omnipresent and changeless, interact with the personal sentiments and rituals of his devotees in Shirdi?

Despite being described as omnipresent and changeless, Sai Baba showed immense compassion by accommodating his devotees' feelings. Chapter 11 explains that while Baba is the 'foundation of everyone' and needs no seat, he accepted one for 'the sake of the devotees' feelings.' His original seat was a simple sackcloth, but he allowed devotees to place a beautiful cushion and a bolster for his comfort. The text explicitly states, 'As was the heart's desire of the devotees, so did Baba behave.' Furthermore, he accepted various types of worship and rituals 'according to the devotee’s intent,' demonstrating that even a fully liberated being engages with the world to nurture the faith and love of those around them.
