How did Sai Baba's interactions with his devotees show his respect for the worship of Vitthal?

Sai Baba demonstrated profound respect for the worship of Vitthal through his interactions with several devotees, as shown in Chapter 4. He actively encouraged Das Ganu's devotion by ordering him to organize a Name-week for Vitthal, promising a divine vision would manifest through faith. Furthermore, he validated Kakasaheb Dixit's private meditative vision of Vitthal. Most significantly, in the story of Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar, Baba intervened to correct the devotee's neglect of his ancestral Vitthal worship. Baba expressed that by letting his family's Vitthal idol go hungry, Bhagwantrao was also keeping Baba hungry, thus revealing a deep, divine unity with the deity and reinforcing the importance of continuing the traditional worship.
