The text describes Balaji Patil Nevasakar's devotion and then his Shraddha. What is the connection between his life of service and the events at this ceremony?

The text establishes a strong connection between Balaji Patil Nevasakar's profound devotion and the miraculous events at his Shraddha ceremony. Chapter 35 first details his extraordinary service, such as sweeping Baba's paths and offering his entire harvest to Baba, living only on what Baba gave back. This life of complete self-sacrifice set the foundation for his family's unwavering faith. When a food shortage occurred during his anniversary feast, it was this inherited faith, exemplified by the mother-in-law, that provided the solution. Her confidence in Sai's power was a direct continuation of the devotional legacy Balaji himself had established through his detached service.
