Describe the conversation between Shama and Sai Baba when the letter from Damu Anna arrived.

📖 Chapter 25

The interaction between Shama (Madhavrao) and Sai Baba was quite revealing. When Shama brought the letter, as detailed in chapter 25, Baba immediately perceived the ambitious nature of the request. Shama, amazed, remarked on how Baba stirs up commotion in devotees' minds only to draw them closer and questioned why Baba needed the letter read when he already knew its inner intent. Baba, in his characteristic manner, feigned ignorance and urged Shama to read it, saying, 'Arre Shama, read it, read it! Why do you think my words are the truth? I am just as I am. I just speak whatever comes to my mind.' This exchange highlights both Baba's divine insight and his humble, playful nature.
