What kind of relationship did Sai Baba seek with his devotees, and what did he promise in return for their devotion?

Sai Baba sought a relationship based on pure, selfless love and complete surrender. In Chapter 14, He is quoted as saying, "In the world, someone belongs to someone, and another to someone else; but here, no one is ours; our only one is Allah." This highlights his detachment from worldly relations. However, he deeply valued sincere devotion, stating, "I lack only the one who loves Me as his very life." In return for such love, His promise was boundless. He famously said, "if he gives Me one quality, I give him a hundred qualities in return." This shows a reciprocal relationship where a devotee's offering of love and faith is met with an immeasurable outpouring of divine grace and blessings.
