Describe the specific interactions involving Sai Baba, Shama (Madhavrao), and the gifting of books. What does this reveal about Baba's ways?

πŸ“– Chapter 27

The interactions surrounding books reveal much about Sai Baba's mysterious ways. As recounted in Chapter 27, devotees would bring books to Baba for his blessing, often using Shama as an intermediary. Baba, knowing both the greatness of the books and the state of the devotee's mind, would accept the book. However, instead of returning it to the person who brought it, he would often turn and give it to Shama. For instance, he gave the book Viveksindhu to Shama, saying, 'these books should be yours.' Even when Shama asked if he should give the books to the eager devotees, Baba would insist, 'You keep it,' demonstrating his unique and often unpredictable method of bestowing grace.
