I heard there was a miraculous connection between the stories Baba told and the books being read. Can you explain what that was?

Yes, the source material describes a wondrous phenomenon that deeply affected devotees. According to Chapter 18, Sai Baba would sometimes tell a devotee a short story. Immediately after, he would instruct them to go to Sathe's Wada where the sacred books were being read. When the sincere listener arrived, they would find that the exact same story they had just heard from Baba would come up in the reading. This provided powerful confirmation and a full, profound understanding of Baba's initial tale. The text notes this was a "great wonder to the listeners," making it seem as if Eknath's or Jnaneshwar's writings were a direct translation of Baba's own words, showcasing his divine omniscience.
