How did Sai Baba's behavior in Shirdi reflect his relationship with his devotees' feelings and offerings?

Chapter 11 reveals that Sai Baba was highly responsive to the sentiments of his followers. The text notes, 'As was the heart's desire of the devotees, so did Baba behave.' While his personal preference was for a simple sackcloth seat, he accepted the beautiful cushions and bolsters his devotees placed for him. A silver throne existed not because he needed it, but 'for the sake of the devotees' feelings.' This principle extended to worship, as he, though changeless, 'accepted worship and rituals; according to the devotee’s intent, he accepted all types.' This demonstrates his deep compassion and willingness to accommodate the love expressed by his devotees in their own ways.
