How does the incident with Deo reconcile Sai Baba's displays of anger with his profound love for devotees?

The account in Chapter 41 provides a nuanced view of Sai Baba's methods, reconciling his apparent anger with his deep love. Baba's 'thunder of curses and oaths' was not an act of genuine malice but a dramatic performance designed to teach Deo a vital lesson. Deo later realized that Baba's anger was directed at his action of seeking spiritual guidance from another person instead of coming directly to his Guru. The text notes that to use the word 'troubled' for Baba, who 'overflows with love for devotees,' is improper. Baba's display was a form of loving correction, demonstrating that even his harshest actions were rooted in a desire to guide his followers away from inferior paths and toward the supreme truth He was ready to offer.
