Sai Baba had a profound and skillful way of using sacred readings to bestow grace and provide guidance, as detailed in Chapter 18. He would often send devotees who came for his darshan to Sathe's Wada to listen to the ongoing scripture reading. A truly wonderful phenomenon would frequently occur: Baba would first tell a devotee a short story, and when that devotee, following Baba's instruction, went to the Wada, they would discover that the exact same story was being read from the book, such as the Jnaneshwari. This served as a powerful confirmation and provided a deeper understanding of Baba's words, making the listeners feel that the sacred texts were merely a translation of Baba's own stories.
Can you explain the miraculous way Sai Baba used the scripture readings to reinforce his teachings to devotees?
