I've heard many stories about Sai Baba's miracles. Are these the main reason people are drawn to him, or is there something more to it?

While miracles are a significant aspect of Sai Baba's leelas, they often serve a deeper purpose: to facilitate an inner transformation. In Chapter 35, a skeptical visitor, Boss Dharamsee, asks the devotee Tarkhad about the miracles in Shirdi. Tarkhad's reply is nuanced: 'This is not my feeling; Whatever the longing in one's mind, that desire reaches fulfillment.' This points to a more personal, internal experience. Later, Baba performs a miracle for Dharamsee by turning grapes with seeds into seedless ones. This wasn't just a display of power; it was a direct response to Dharamsee's inner state of doubt. The miracle's purpose was to dissolve his ego, end his 'clinical scrutiny,' and awaken love for Sai in his heart. Thus, the miracles are catalysts for spiritual growth, not just ends in themselves.
