How is Sai Baba's role and significance for his devotees described at the beginning of Chapter 42?

At the start of Chapter 42, Sai Baba is venerated with several powerful descriptions that highlight his significance for devotees. He is hailed as the 'Great Giver' who wanders the banks of the sacred Godavari and is the 'embodiment of Brahman'. The text presents him as a guide who can 'show us the way to cross the river of worldly existence'. A particularly poignant description, as found in Chapter 42, calls him a 'Wish-fulfilling Tree (Kalpataru) for his devotees' causes,' emphasizing his role in fulfilling their needs and protecting them. His feet are presented as a refuge where even the humble can find a place.
