How does the story of Balasaheb Deo serve as an example of Sai Baba's character as described in the text?

The story of Balasaheb Deo is presented as a direct illustration of Sai Baba's loving nature towards his devotees. Chapter 41 begins by stating that Sai is particularly loving and affectionate toward those with a "true taste for spiritual matters." It claims He actively wards off their difficulties to grant them self-bliss. The narrative then introduces Deo's experience as the "sweet experience of this meaning." Deo's deep desire to read the Dnyaneshwari shows his spiritual inclination, while his inability to do so represents a significant difficulty. His ultimate surrender, deciding to wait for Sai's direct order, perfectly sets the stage for Sai to demonstrate this very quality of warding off a devotee's obstacles.
