This powerful analogy, found in Chapter 48, illustrates Sai Baba's omniscience. The story of Sapatnekar shows this is not just abstract knowledge but a deep, intimate awareness. The text explains that Baba is the very form of Brahman and the entire universe is his family; in fact, he has manifested as the universe itself. For him, there is no distinction between "mine" and "thine." By knowing every detail of Sapatnekar's life, Baba demonstrated that he is merged with the Supreme Being, a state where the duality of seer, seeing, and seen does not apply, just as paint does not stick to the sky.
The Satcharitra says everything was as clear to Baba as a 'gooseberry in the palm of the hand.' What does this story about Sapatnekar teach us about Sai Baba's divine nature?
