Could you detail the specific ritualistic steps Baba took to perform the miracle of lighting lamps with water?

The miracle was not a simple act but involved a specific, deliberate process. As described in Chapter 5, after the shopkeepers refused him oil, Baba returned to the mosque. He first took his tin pot, which contained a minuscule amount of leftover oil. Into this, he poured water. The next crucial step was that he drank this oil-and-water mixture himself, explicitly making it an offering to Brahman, the Supreme. Only after this offering did he take plain water, pour that into the lamps to completely soak the dry wicks, and then light them with a match, demonstrating the divine power that allowed water to burn as fuel all night.
