After the shopkeepers refused him oil, Sai Baba's actions were very specific. Chapter 5 recounts that he returned quietly to the mosque and picked up his tin pot, which contained a minuscule amount of oil. First, he poured water into that pot with the bit of oil and drank the mixture himself, making it an offering to Brahman. Following this, he took plain water and poured that water into the lamps, completely soaking the dry wicks he had already placed inside. Finally, he lit the water-soaked wicks with a match, and they began to burn as if fueled by oil, demonstrating the miracle to the watching grocers.
Describe the precise actions Sai Baba took to perform the miracle of the lamps after being denied oil.
