How does the narrative of the Sanyasi's visit to Mamlatdar Dev illustrate the inscrutable and all-pervading nature of Sai Baba mentioned earlier in the chapter?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 40

The story of the Sanyasi serves as a practical demonstration of Baba's divine and omnipresent nature. Chapter 40 begins by establishing that Baba is a 'Leelavatari' who is not bound by physical space and can manifest at will, pervading everything. Although Baba had promised Dev He would come, Dev was logically puzzled about how this would happen since Dahanu was far from Shirdi. The subsequent arrival of the Sanyasi, who initially sought donations but later returned unexpectedly asking only for a meal for himself and two companions, is presented as part of Baba's inscrutable plan. The narrative suggests that the Sanyasi's visit is not a mere coincidence but a manifestation of Baba's will, a way for Baba to fulfill his infallible words to Dev in a miraculous and unexpected manner, proving that he is indeed "perfectly full, inside and out."
