How did Sai Baba's interactions with Kaka Mahajani and Shama concerning the Bhagavata book differ?

📖 Chapter 27

Chapter 27 illustrates how Baba tailored his blessings differently for his devotees using the same holy book. When Shama brought a copy of the Bhagavata that belonged to Kaka Mahajani, Baba insisted Shama keep it, stating, "Since I have given this to you, keep it in your collection." This established a sense of ownership and responsibility for Shama. Later, when Kaka Mahajani brought another copy of the same text, Baba returned it to him as a blessing with the specific instruction to "Apply your heart to it," assuring him it would be a dear friend. This shows Baba's nuanced approach, giving one devotee a possession for his records and the other a tool for deep personal study.
