How did Sai Baba's focus on his own glory and name help his devotees achieve spiritual welfare?

The information in Chapter 36 suggests the opposite of this premise. Sai Baba is described as being detached from his own name and glory. The text states he has 'no name or village, but possesses infinite glory' and, crucially, that he stays 'distant and detached from his name, he causes various events to occur.' His method for helping devotees, as mentioned in Chapter 36, was to bestow grace, show them various forms, and fulfill their desires. His power was not derived from focusing on his own name, but from a state of detachment and immense spiritual prowess.
