Describe the interaction between Sai Baba and Shama when Damu Anna's letter arrived. What did Baba say that seemed to foretell the letter's contents?

📖 Chapter 25

The interaction was a remarkable display of Sai Baba's omniscience. Chapter 25 narrates that when Shama placed Damu Anna's letter at Baba's feet, Baba immediately questioned the plan without having read it. He said, "It seems he is trying to touch the sky! He doesn't want what God gives." Shama was astonished and confirmed that Baba's words were the exact meaning of the letter. Shama mused on how Baba stirs up devotees' minds only to bring them closer to His feet. When prompted to have the letter read, Baba humbly deflected, saying, "I am just as I am. I just speak whatever comes to my mind." After Shama read the letter aloud, Baba listened attentively before giving his formal reply advising against the venture.
