The reference to Sai Baba as a "skilled actor" highlights his divine play, or leela, in which he takes on various forms to help his devotees in times of crisis. An example is provided in Chapter 33 where a devotee's wife was in difficult labor. A mysterious Tanga (horse-cart) and a Sipahi (policeman) appeared to guide the devotee's father, Ramgir. When Ramgir's son Nana was asked about sending the Tanga, he was perplexed as he had not sent one. It became clear that the Tangawala and the Sipahi were manifestations of the "motherly Sai," who comes running to the aid of devotees, demonstrating Baba's role as a skilled actor who responds to their needs.
The source material refers to Sai as a "skilled actor." What does this mean, and can you provide an example?
