How did Sai Baba interact with his followers, especially those with worldly desires?

Sai Baba's interaction with his followers was deeply personal and compassionate. The text notes that a very large proportion of devotees came to him with worldly desires (Sakam). His approach was not to dismiss them, but to satisfy their desires and then seamlessly turn their minds toward ultimate welfare. As Chapter 0 states, his incarnation was for the salvation of people. During daily sittings, he would give advice through stories and even feed people with his own hands, peeling bananas and cutting guavas himself. This demonstrates a method of meeting people where they were and gently guiding them toward a higher spiritual path.
