How did Sai Baba demonstrate his omniscience when Madhavrao presented Damu Anna's letter?

Sai Baba demonstrated his omniscience in a characteristic, playful manner. Chapter 25 recounts that before the letter was even read, Baba questioned Madhavrao (Shama), asking, "What plans is he making? It seems he is trying to touch the sky! He doesn't want what God gives." Shama confirmed that Baba's words were the exact meaning of the letter. This interaction showed that Baba already knew the inner intent of Damu Anna's ambitious financial plans, prompting Shama to marvel at how Baba stirs the minds of devotees only to bring them closer to His feet.
