In Chapter 25, the author strategically introduces the story of Damu Anna to serve as a clear demonstration of Sai Baba's divine power and mercy. Before narrating the story, the text establishes a premise: 'Once one-pointed faith is established, Sai wards off all the misfortunes of that devotee.' The story of Damu Anna, a wealthy but initially childless man who was later blessed with sons through Sai's grace, is presented as a 'report that shows Sai's love for His devotees.' The author calls the story 'novel' and 'pure in its meaning,' promising that by listening, one's mind will experience how the 'Guru-Mother is an Ocean of Mercy.' Thus, Damu Anna's account is framed as tangible proof of the rewards of unwavering devotion.
