Can you explain how Sai Baba was able to appear as himself to some people and as Lord Rama to another person at the exact same time?

📖 Chapter 29

This phenomenon, described in Chapter 29, reveals a profound spiritual truth about perception and devotion. During the noon arati, while most people saw Sai Baba in his usual form as a fakir, one woman with profound devotional feeling was granted a special vision. To her eyes, he appeared as the glorious Lord of Janaki, Sita's beloved Rama. The text clarifies this principle by stating, "As one feels in their mind, so does he appear to sincere devotees." Therefore, it was not a matter of Baba being in two different forms physically, but rather his divine essence manifesting in a way that corresponded to the unique purity and longing in the devotee's heart, a grace not granted to the others who were astonished by her ecstatic state.
