The text mentions Sai Baba weeping over a broken brick. How does the narrative justify this display of emotion from an enlightened being?

The narrative in Chapter 44 addresses this apparent contradiction directly. When Baba wept for a broken brick, which he called his "lifelong companion" for self-contemplation, the text acknowledges that a doubt would naturally arise about why an enlightened being would grieve for a momentary object. The explanation provided is that the actions of Saints, including laughter and weeping, are part of a "worldly drama." Even when fully enlightened, they are engaged in performing actions to save people and uplift the poor and wretched. Their behavior serves as an example for the people. Therefore, Baba's grief was not a sign of attachment but an outward act performed as part of his mission on Earth, demonstrating a principle for the benefit of his devotees.
