How does Balasaheb Deo's story serve as an example of Sai's love for devotees with a "true taste for spiritual matters"?

The narrative in Chapter 41 presents Balasaheb Deo's story as a prime illustration of Sai's affection for devoted followers. The chapter begins by stating that Sai is loving toward those with a "true taste for spiritual matters" and helps them by "warding off all their difficulties." Deo's intense, persistent, and yet unfulfilled desire to read the Dnyaneshwari is the evidence of his deep spiritual taste. His struggle and subsequent resolution to wait for Sai's command perfectly frame him as a devotee in need of divine intervention. His story is explicitly called the "sweet experience of this meaning," suggesting his struggle is the prelude to experiencing Sai's grace.
