The text acknowledges that some people, like Hari Kanoba from Mumbai, are skeptical and approach saints with a fault-finding eye, believing only what they experience personally. Chapter 49 explains that such individuals often lack devotion and do not understand the authority of saints. In the case of Hari Kanoba, who came specifically to test Sai and was a 'seeker of miracles,' Sai knew his intention. The text states that Sai showed him a glimpse of His power, a skillful means to make Kanoba's efforts fruitful and turn him into a complete devotee, demonstrating how true saints can transform even skeptics.
How does the text address skepticism towards saints, and how is this illustrated through the story of Hari Kanoba?
