The experience of Sapatnekar serves as a practical demonstration of high spiritual philosophy. Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that after hearing his life story from Baba's mouth, Sapatnekar understood Baba's true nature. The text posits that Baba is the "form of Brahman" and the entire universe is his family, meaning he has "manifested as the entire universe." His ability to know every detail of Sapatnekar's life without being told proves that for him, there is no duality or distinction of "mine" and "thine." He is one with all creation. The narrative shows that as one who is merged with the Supreme Being, the concepts of seer, seeing, and seen do not apply to him, illustrating his non-dual, all-encompassing divine reality.
How does the story of Sapatnekar illustrate the philosophical concept that Sai Baba is the 'form of Brahman' and one with the universe?
