Can you tell me the story of Sapatnekar and how Sai Baba used a conversation with a shepherd woman to teach him a lesson?

📖 Chapter 48

The story of Sapatnekar illustrates Sai Baba's unique teaching methods. Sapatnekar was deeply distressed because Baba would always dismiss him with "Chal Hat" (Go away), while being affectionate with others. As described in Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter 48, Sapatnekar persevered and, in a quiet moment, grasped Baba's feet. At that time, a shepherd (Dhangar) woman arrived. Baba began a conversation with her that was, miraculously, a detailed account of Sapatnekar's own life, including the death of his son. Sapatnekar listened in shock and wonder, realizing that the story was meant for him. This experience taught him about Baba's omniscience and deep, personal connection to his devotees.
