What analogies does Chapter 19 use to describe the act of devotion and the nature of faith?

Chapter 19 explains devotion through several powerful analogies. The author compares their attempt to give form to the formless Sai to how worshippers of the Sun perform Aarti with a small wick, or how devotees make a Ganesha idol from jaggery and then offer jaggery to it. Another example given is offering a palmful of water from the ocean back to it as an oblation. As explained in Chapter 19, while these acts may seem logically inappropriate, they are meant to illustrate that the divine, like the Sun and the Ocean, looks at the devotee's faith and not the merit of the action itself, seeking only to honor the devotee.
