How did Sai Baba guide Narayanrao from a state of dependency to one of independence, and what was the ultimate effect on his devotion?

According to Chapter 33, Sai Baba guided Narayanrao from servitude to self-reliance through direct and prophetic advice. During a visit for darshan, Baba explicitly instructed him that his time of service was over and that he should pursue an independent business. This clear command served as the catalyst for change. Soon after, Narayanrao left his job and started his own successful establishment, "Anandashram." The ultimate effect of this experience was a profound deepening of his devotion. Seeing Baba's words manifest so perfectly in his life, his faith grew into a firm, unshakeable conviction, as it was now rooted in direct, personal experience of Sai's grace and omniscience.
