The woman was indeed perplexed when Sai Baba told her, "Consuming that bread of love, I became completely satisfied," after she had merely given food to a dog. As Chapter 9 narrates, she couldn't understand the inner meaning of his words. Baba then gave a profound reply to clarify the event. He explained his complete identification with all life, stating, "that dog which you saw suddenly, I have oneness with him. Similarly, the pig smeared with mud all over which you saw... I have oneness with him." He further elaborated that he roams in the form of dogs, pigs, cows, and even ants, and that true worship is to renounce the sense of difference and see him in all beings. This explanation was so powerful it was described as "supreme nectar" that overwhelmed the woman with emotion.
