What were the qualities of Sai Baba as a leader? How did He organize and guide His followers?

The qualities of a true and compassionate leader are vividly demonstrated in Sai Baba's actions during the Chavadi procession, as narrated in Chapter 37. His leadership was based on mutual love and interdependence. For instance, He would remain seated and wait for Tatya Patil to arrive and help Him stand, showing that a leader values and relies on their followers. The procession itself was a model of loving organization: Tatyaba held His left hand, Mhalasapati His right, and Bapusaheb Jog held the umbrella. Baba's leadership inspired immense joy and harmony, creating a blissful gathering where everyone, from musicians to banner-carriers, participated with love.
