How does Baba's instruction to Megha regarding the worship of Khandoba reflect His teachings on the pervasiveness of the divine and respect for traditional practices?

The incident with Megha and the missed worship of Khandoba, as narrated in Chapter 28, is profoundly instructive. Megha's routine was to worship village deities first, then Baba. When he skipped Khandoba, Baba did not simply accept Megha's worship for Himself. Instead, He insisted, "Go, complete that and then come here," demonstrating a deep respect for Megha's established devotional sequence. This act supports the idea of "Sai's pervasiveness." By ensuring the worship of Khanderaya was completed, Baba showed that He did not see Himself as a replacement for other gods, but rather as part of a universal divine presence. This story from Chapter 28 showcases that true worship acknowledges the divine in all its forms.
