If Baba was all-powerful, why did he need to 'assign' tasks like reading scriptures to others like Bapusaheb Jog? Couldn't he just manifest the knowledge directly into everyone's minds?

Sai Baba possessed profound skill in bestowing grace and chose to work through his devotees to empower them. Chapter 18 explains that even while sitting in the Masjid, he would assign tasks to others, giving them his own power to accomplish the work. He specifically told Bapusaheb Jog to read scriptures like the Jnaneshwari and Nath Bhagawat daily in the Wada. By having Jog read and explain the texts, Baba created a valuable opportunity for many listeners to gather and benefit from the sacred knowledge, demonstrating that he could extend his grace and guidance through the actions of his followers.
