How did the mosque and Sai Baba's life change around the year 1912?

Chapter 5 explains that a significant transformation began around the year 1912, marking a new phase in Baba's life. Before this, he lived a very austere life in the mosque, which had knee-deep holes in the ground, and not everyone felt fearless approaching him. As the community of devotees grew, comforts like mattresses and pillows began to appear. The text specifically states that 1912 was the 'real beginning of the transformation,' a time when devoted followers paved the mosque's floor with stones in a single night, signaling a major shift from his earlier, more solitary existence.
