How did Sai Baba's interactions with Dadasaheb Khaparde's family reveal his different methods of bestowing grace?

Chapter 27 illustrates Sai Baba's personalized approach to his devotees through his interactions with the Khaparde family. With Dadasaheb Khaparde, a great intellectual, Baba's grace was received in silence; Khaparde's humility in not speaking before Baba was itself a form of devotion that Baba acknowledged. In contrast, with Mrs. Khaparde, Baba's grace was demonstrated through a very active and unusual display. He showed exceptional eagerness for her food offering, an act that puzzled onlookers. His subsequent explanation, revealing his knowledge of her past lives, was a profound teaching on karma and love that was 'firmly impressed in the heart.' This shows how Baba tailored his grace, whether through accepting silent reverence or by participating in an act of love, to suit the devotee's path.
