How did Sai Baba interact with devotees who came to him with worldly desires?

A large number of devotees who came to see Maharaj had worldly desires, which are referred to as Sakam. According to the Introduction in Chapter 0, Maharaj's approach was not to dismiss these desires. Instead, he would satisfy their worldly wishes first. After fulfilling their initial desires, he would then seamlessly and gently turn their minds toward the path of ultimate welfare and spiritual salvation. This compassionate method demonstrates how his incarnation was for the good of everyone, as he met people where they were and guided them from there toward a higher spiritual purpose.
