How did Sai Baba respond when a lady gave bread to a hungry dog, and what deeper truth did he reveal?

📖 Chapter 9

When a lady gave bread to a hungry dog, Sai Baba's response was profound and enlightening. As detailed in Chapter 9, he told her that he had become "completely satisfied" from her act of kindness and was "still getting belches" from the "bread of love." The lady was confused, as she hadn't given him food directly. Baba then revealed the deeper truth of his nature: his omnipresence and his oneness with all life. He explicitly stated his unity with the very dog she fed, and also with other creatures like pigs and cats. He taught her that serving any hungry being is the same as serving him, urging her to see him in all beings and renounce any sense of separation.
