How did Sai Baba's approach differ for devotees with worldly desires versus those seeking purely spiritual goals?

Chapter 0 explains that a large number of devotees, known as Sakam devotees, came to Maharaj with worldly desires. His method was not to chastise or dismiss them. Instead, Maharaj would first satisfy their desires, addressing their worldly concerns. After their desire was fulfilled and their faith was strengthened, he would then skillfully and seamlessly turn their minds toward ultimate welfare and spiritual salvation. This shows a compassionate and pragmatic approach, meeting people where they were on their journey before guiding them toward a higher purpose.
