How did Sai Baba teach his devotees that faith was the most important thing for seeing Vitthal?

Sai Baba consistently emphasized that seeing God, specifically in the form of Vitthal, was a direct result of a devotee's faith. As detailed in Chapter 4, when Baba instructed Das Ganu to organize a Name-week (Saptah), Das Ganu requested that Vitthal must appear. Baba placed a hand on his chest and firmly promised that Vitthal's form would indeed appear, but he stressed that "the devotee must be full of faith." This principle was proven when Das Ganu later received a vision of Vitthal in Shirdi. Similarly, Kakasaheb Dixit had a spontaneous vision of Vitthal during meditation, which Baba later confirmed, reinforcing the idea that sincere devotion attracts divine presence.
