How does the interaction between Sai Baba and Sapatnekar in Chapter 48 illustrate the teaching that Baba is the 'form of Brahman' and one with the universe?

The interaction with Sapatnekar serves as a profound demonstration of Baba's divine nature as the 'form of Brahman.' Sapatnekar was filled with wonder, asking himself how Baba could possibly know his entire life story. Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter 48 explains that for Baba, to whom the universe is his family, everything was as clear as a 'gooseberry in the palm of the hand.' The text states, 'he has manifested as the entire universe,' and for him, distinctions of 'mine' and 'thine' do not exist. By narrating Sapatnekar's most private history to a third party, Baba proved he is the all-knowing inner self (Antaryami) who transcends the duality of seer and seen. This leela wasn't just a miracle; it was a practical lesson on his non-dual, all-pervading consciousness, which is the very essence of Brahman.
