Can you share the story of Sai Baba, Laxmibai, and the dog? What does it reveal about his nature?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 recounts a beautiful story that illustrates Sai Baba's immense compassion and his oneness with all beings. One evening, while Baba was having a conversation, Laxmibai Shinde arrived. Baba told her, 'Laxmi, I am feeling hungry.' She immediately went home, baked breads, and returned with the meal, placing it before him. To her surprise, Baba picked up the entire plate and placed it as it was before a dog. When Laxmi questioned what he had done, the incident served as a powerful lesson. The story is presented to show Baba's oneness with all creatures, which causes wonder to the mind and reveals that he saw no distinction between himself and any other living being.
