How did Shama (Madhavrao) facilitate the communication between Damu Anna and Sai Baba regarding the business proposal?

Shama played the essential role of intermediary in the entire exchange. Chapter 25 shows that Shama was the one who received Damu Anna's letter and physically brought it into the Masjid, placing it at Sai Baba's feet. He then engaged in a dialogue with Baba, who already knew the letter's intent, before reading it aloud as instructed. Shama was also the recipient of Baba's reply, which he then conveyed back to Damu Anna. Furthermore, the text implies that Madhavrao was the one who suggested in the reply letter that Damu Anna should come to Shirdi for a personal visit, showing he guided the interaction from start to finish.
