The exchange reveals both Sai Baba's omniscience and his playful, human-like manner. According to Chapter 25, before the letter was even read, Baba commented, "It seems he is trying to touch the sky! He doesn't want what God gives," perfectly summarizing its content. This prompted Shama to marvel at how Baba already knew the inner intent. Despite this, Baba playfully insisted, "Arre Shama, read it, read it! Why do you think my words are the truth? I am just as I am. I just speak whatever comes to my mind." This interaction showcases Baba's divine insight coupled with a profound humility and a desire to engage his devotees in a loving, instructive manner.
