The text says Sai is loving toward his devotees. How does Balasaheb Deo's story demonstrate this principle?

Chapter 41 introduces Balasaheb Deo's story as a prime example of Sai Baba's loving nature towards His devotees. The chapter states that Sai is particularly affectionate toward those with a "true taste for spiritual matters" and helps them by "warding off all their difficulties." Deo's intense desire to read the Dnyaneshwari qualifies him as such a devotee, and his struggle was with a spiritual practice. The narrative sets up his problem—the inability to read the scripture despite his strong will—as a difficulty that Sai is poised to resolve, thereby giving him "the company of self-bliss" and an "addition of devotion," demonstrating Sai's deep involvement in the spiritual progress of His followers.
