Sai Baba had a profound and unique method of teaching that integrated his own stories with the scripture readings. As Chapter 18 details, Baba would often tell a devotee a short story at the Masjid. While the devotee was still contemplating its meaning, Baba would instruct them to go to Sathe's Wada where Bapusaheb Jog was conducting the daily reading. In what was considered a great wonder by the listeners, the devotee would arrive at the Wada to find Jog reading the very same story from the scripture, be it from Jnaneshwar’s Jnaneshwari or Eknath’s speech. This provided an immediate confirmation and a deeper, more complete understanding of the story Baba had just told them, making it seem as if the sacred texts were a direct translation of Baba's own words.
How did Sai Baba use the scripture readings at the Wada to create a miraculous learning experience for his followers?
