The story of Sapatnekar serves as a perfect illustration of Baba's non-dualistic and omniscient nature. Chapter 48 explains that after hearing his life story from Baba's mouth, Sapatnekar wondered how Baba could possibly know such details. The text answers this by stating that for Baba, who is the "form of Brahman" and has manifested as the entire universe, everything is as clear as a "gooseberry in the palm of the hand." The concept that "the universe is his family" and there is no distinction of "mine" and "thine" for him is proven by this event. Baba didn't need to 'learn' Sapatnekar's story; as the Supreme Being with whom all is merged, he simply knew it as part of his own cosmic existence.
The Satcharitra describes Baba as being one with the universe. How does the story of Sapatnekar in Chapter 48 demonstrate this idea?
