In Chapter 2, Sai Baba says, 'Where there is devotion with faith, I am always subservient.' Doesn't this description make a divine being sound weak or easily controlled by human emotion?

The statement that Sai Baba is 'always subservient' to devotion is not meant to imply weakness, but rather to highlight the supreme power of pure, faithful devotion. Within the context of Chapter 2, this is presented as a profound spiritual law. Baba immediately follows this by saying, 'Do not doubt this; I am otherwise unattainable.' This clarifies that far from being easily controlled, he is unreachable *except* through this path of devotion. The term 'subservient' is used to express the immense love and grace the divine has for a true devotee, indicating that God willingly binds Himself to a devotee's pure heart. It illustrates the reciprocal nature of divine love, not a hierarchy of power where the deity is lesser.
