The interaction, as narrated in Chapter 25, highlights Baba's omniscience. When Madhavrao, also known as Shama, placed Damu Anna's letter at Baba's feet in the Masjid, Baba already seemed to grasp its contents. He preemptively commented on Damu Anna's ambitions, saying, "It seems he is trying to touch the sky! He doesn't want what God gives." Shama was astonished, confirming that Baba's words perfectly captured the letter's intent. Despite knowing the inner thoughts of the devotee, Baba humbly asked Shama to read the letter aloud, saying, "I am just as I am. I just speak whatever comes to my mind," before listening to it attentively.
Can you describe the interaction between Sai Baba and Shama when Damu Anna's letter first arrived?
