What was Sai Baba's response when Jog told him that Dev felt deceived and disappointed?

When Jog conveyed Dev's feelings of disappointment, Sai Baba was not angry but rather surprised at Dev's inability to see the truth. According to Chapter 40, Baba revealed that he knew the contents of Dev's mind even before the letter was opened. He instructed Jog to tell Dev, "You did not recognize Me! Why then did you call Me?" Baba then recounted exactly how he fulfilled his promise, explaining that he came as a Sanyasi with two others, just as he said he would. He emphatically stated the importance of his word, saying, "Look, for the sake of My word, I would die; but the words from My mouth shall never be otherwise." This loving but firm response served to clear the devotee's delusion and reaffirm the absolute certainty of Baba's promises.
