If I wanted to have a sacred book blessed by Sai Baba, what did the experiences of other devotees suggest might happen?

Based on the experiences recounted in Chapter 27, seeking a blessing for a book from Sai Baba was an event filled with anticipation and surprise. You would likely bring a sacred text, perhaps using Madhavrao (Shama) to present it to Baba. While Baba knew your heart and the greatness of the book, the outcome was unpredictable. He might turn the pages and then, instead of giving it back to you, hand it to Shama to keep, a test of patience for many. However, as seen with Kaka Mahajani, persistence could pay off. On a subsequent attempt, Baba might return the book to you with a direct order to apply your heart to its study.
