The text uses the incident of the broken brick to provide a philosophical framework for understanding the actions of a Saint. Chapter 44 explains that while a Saint is fully enlightened, their outward actions like weeping are part of a "worldly drama" performed to uplift people. This context is crucial for understanding the subsequent account of the 1886 samadhi. The narrative implies that this terrifying event, where Baba appeared to have died, was another such act. It was a state of "pure bliss for Sai" but served as a profound lesson and test of faith for His devotees, demonstrating that a Saint's actions have a deeper purpose.
The source text mentions Baba weeping for a brick and also His three-day trance. How does the narrative connect these two events?
