How did Sai Baba reward Balabuva Satarkar for his performance, and what was the impact of this reward?

Sai Baba ensured Balabuva Satarkar was generously rewarded for his devotional service. After Balabuva performed the entire Ram Navami festival with great love and novelty, Baba was very pleased. As described in Chapter 6, Baba ordered that Balabuva be paid an honorarium of more than one hundred and fifty rupees. This amount was highly significant, as the text notes that it was equivalent to five years' worth of the income he would have received from his regular engagement at Kavthe. The impact on Balabuva was profound; he felt immense joy upon receiving this unexpected and substantial sum and was deeply grateful to Baba for His grace and generosity.
