Sapatnekar's story serves as a practical demonstration of the concept that Sai Baba is the form of Brahman. Chapter 48 explains that for one who has merged with the Supreme Being, the distinctions of "mine" and "thine" disappear. This is illustrated when Baba, while seemingly talking to a Dhangar woman, narrates Sapatnekar's life story. The story was about Sapatnekar, yet told to another, demonstrating Baba's non-dualistic perspective where he is one with all beings. The text states, "he has manifested as the entire universe," and his ability to know Sapatnekar's innermost life details proves this oneness and his role as the "knower of the inner self," which are attributes of Brahman.
The text mentions Baba is the 'form of Brahman.' How does Sapatnekar's story illustrate this philosophical concept?
