Based on the incident at Dev's Udyapan, what can be understood about Sai Baba's nature, his promises, and his perception of his devotees' thoughts?

The events surrounding Dev's Udyapan ceremony reveal several key aspects of Sai Baba's divine nature. Firstly, it shows his omniscience. According to Chapter 40, when Jog presented Dev's letter, Baba stated, "When the letter is opened before Me, the state of mind within the letter is already known." Secondly, it highlights the sanctity of his word. Baba emphasized his commitment, saying, "for the sake of My word, I would die; but the words from My mouth shall never be otherwise." He fulfilled his promise to attend, albeit in an unexpected form. Thirdly, the incident demonstrates his ability to transcend physical limitations, as he said, "In the worldly sense, I did not move from here; but I came and ate at the Udyapan." This story illustrates that Baba tests his devotees' faith and perception.
