Chapter 19 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides several beautiful analogies to explain the nature of pure devotion. It compares a devotee's offering to worshipping the Sun with a small wick, making a Ganesha idol from jaggery and then offering jaggery back to it, or taking a palmful of water from the ocean and offering it back as an oblation. As explained in this chapter, while these acts might seem logically inappropriate, divine powers like the Sun and the Ocean do not judge the action itself. Instead, they look at the devotee's faith, as their primary goal is to honor the devotee's sincere belief.
