How is Sai Baba's attitude towards his spiritually-inclined devotees described in the text?

The text portrays Sai Baba as being exceptionally loving and affectionate towards his followers, especially those with a genuine interest in spiritual matters. Chapter 41 explicitly states that devotees who have a "true taste for spiritual matters are very dear to Sai." For these dedicated individuals, Sai actively works to remove their difficulties and grants them the blissful experience of self-realization, or "the company of self-bliss." The story of Balasaheb Deo is presented as a key example of this principle, showing how Sai ultimately fulfilled his devotee's wish and helped him grow in his devotion.
