Why do You say to worship different forms of God to devotees?

[Dr. Balaji asked: You say to worship different forms of God to different devotees and also to distribute some special food items to beggars based on astrology. How to correlate this with the above question?]

Swami replied: Shirdi Sai Baba was an Ayurvedic doctor and also Human incarnation of God Datta preaching spiritual knowledge. Depending on the level of psychology of the devotee and also of the context, He used to behave as doctor as well as spiritual preacher. Similarly, you can understand My astrological advises and the Spiritual Knowledge. The point in this answer is that the failed case Y in the above question, is granted some consolation bonus as extra provided Y does not lose faith or blame God. The bonus is that Y will be granted peace with strength so that Y can easily face the difficulty. All shall understand that God is the Highest generous donor and Helper to all the souls because He is the Divine Father (Ahaṃ Bījapradaḥ pitā – Gītā). In fact, God is more sympathetic to the failed case and hence, He is giving this extra bonus. This proves that God is not only justified but also the Kindest. Unaware of the above background, many ignorant souls say that they withstood difficulties due to their own will power! This can be treated as the most funny ego!
