How does Sai Baba show his grace and help his devotees?

According to the narrative in chapter 27, Sai Baba's grace is bestowed in various wonderful and sometimes surprising ways. He is known to avert impending death, such as preventing a suicide, and to establish devotees firmly at the feet of their own Guru. Baba's method of instruction is tailored to the recipient's capacity, and his grace is often granted through casual joking and humor when least expected. This approach is compared to a skilled doctor who knows the right medicine and how to administer it, even if the patient desires something else.
