Chapter 41 powerfully illustrates Sai Baba's 'Leela' through the story of the portrait's arrival. The author explicitly refers to the event as a 'clear Leela' that is 'very humorous.' The divine play unfolds as Sai first promises in a dream to come for a meal, and then fulfills this promise not with a physical visit, but through the perfectly timed delivery of his portrait via Alli Mohammed. The synchronicity of the event, happening at the exact moment of lunch on Holi, showcases Sai's profound and playful way of interacting with his devotees. As the chapter reveals, even the backstory of how Alli Mohammed found the picture was part of this intricate play, demonstrating the 'innate power' of Sai to orchestrate events to fulfill his devotees' desires.
