How did Sai Baba tailor his blessings to the specific disposition of a devotee, and what analogy is used to describe this?

Sai Baba's approach to granting grace was highly personalized and not a one-size-fits-all rule. As Chapter 27 explains, the method of grace was determined by the devotee's authority, mental disposition, service, and love. The text uses a wonderful analogy to illustrate this: a doctor dealing with a patient who refuses medicine. The doctor doesn't use force but employs a trick, giving jaggery first to make the medicine acceptable. Similarly, Baba would change the 'vehicle' of his grace to suit the devotee, sometimes even using casual humor to fulfill their purpose.
