What was Sai Baba's primary mission in Shirdi, and who were the intended beneficiaries of his grace as described in Chapter 39?

As explained in Chapter 39, Sai Baba's primary mission was the spiritual upliftment of his devotees. The chapter posits that he came to Shirdi of his own accord out of great concern for them. It specifically identifies the intended beneficiaries of his grace, asking rhetorically, "who else but Sai would uplift them?" The text lists these groups as the dull-witted, the fallen, and the poor. It also includes simple and faithful people who may not have had formal vows, penance, or sacraments. This detail from Chapter 39 underscores Sai's role as a savior for the humble, marginalized, and spiritually needy.
