What is the connection between love, patience, and pleasing Sai Baba as detailed in the sacred text?

The source material from Chapter 44 clearly states that love is paramount to Sai Baba, noting that "Except for love alone, He has no other liking." This love is intrinsically linked to how we treat others, as Baba feels any pain inflicted upon another being as his own. When someone speaks harshly to another, it has "pierced my heart." The text further elaborates on this by highlighting the virtue of patience. When someone endures harsh words or actions with patience, it is said to have pleased Baba for a long time. Therefore, demonstrating love for all beings and practicing patience are direct ways to please Sai.
