How did Sai Baba explain his attendance at Dev's feast, and what does this reveal about his nature?

When Jog presented Dev's letter, Sai Baba explained that He had indeed attended the feast, revealing His omniscience and unwavering commitment to His word. In Chapter 40, Baba states that He knew the contents of Dev's letter and his state of mind even before it was opened. He clarified that He came in the guise of a Sanyasi, first alone and then later with two companions for the meal, exactly as promised. Baba's powerful declaration, "for the sake of My word, I would die; but the words from My mouth shall never be otherwise," reveals His divine integrity and the absolute certainty with which His devotees can trust His assurances, even when His methods are mysterious.
