The text introduces a story about Damu Anna. What does it say about Sai's role in protecting his devotees?

Chapter 25 introduces the story of Damu Anna to illustrate a core principle: once a devotee establishes one-pointed faith, Sai Baba wards off all their misfortunes, grants their desires, and removes their suffering. The narrative about Damu Anna is presented as a report that shows Sai's profound love and readiness to protect His devotees. The Satcharitra encourages listeners to approach this story with reverence, promising that their hearts will fill with joy and their minds will experience how the Guru-Mother is an 'Ocean of Mercy.' The story is meant to be a direct demonstration of Sai's protective nature.
