The text suggests that the ultimate purpose behind Sai Baba's actions is profoundly mysterious and known only to him. Regarding the incident of him climbing the roof to cure Radhakrishni's fever, Chapter 19 explicitly states that "no one understood this miracle" and "Who can know the true secret of why Baba was doing this? That is known to him alone." It emphasizes that the "inner heart of saints is very mysterious." The guidance for devotees, therefore, is not to try and fully decipher every action but to hold onto the clear words and teachings he provides. The lesson from that event—to not take labor for free—was the explicit teaching to be followed, even if the full scope of the miracle itself remained beyond comprehension.
Beyond the immediate miracle, what does the text say about understanding the deeper purpose of Sai Baba's actions, like climbing onto Radhakrishni's roof?
