From the perspective of a devotee, what is the significance of Sai Baba grinding grain as mentioned in Chapter 40?

📖 Chapter 40

From a devotee's viewpoint, Sai Baba's act of grinding grain, as mentioned in Chapter 40, is profoundly significant and filled with wonder. It is not seen as a mundane task but as a divine leela (play) that holds a deeper meaning. The chapter states that this very image—of the saint spreading His legs, setting up the grinding stone, and grinding grain—was the root inspiration for the entire Shri Sai Satcharitra. For a devotee, this act symbolizes Sai's humility and His spiritual work of grinding away the sins and impurities of humanity. The strong desire to describe such deeds, as noted in Chapter 40, arose from the belief that recounting them would destroy sins and please God.
