Sapatnekar's story provides profound insight into Sai Baba's divine nature as the all-knowing inner self. Chapter 48 explains that for Baba, everything was as clear as a "gooseberry in the palm of the hand." The incident demonstrated that Baba is the form of Brahman and the entire universe is his family; He has manifested as the universe itself. This is why distinctions of "mine" and "thine" did not apply to Him. By narrating Sapatnekar's life story to a third party, Baba showed that He is one with all and that for one who has merged with the Supreme Being, the language of duality ceases to exist, just as paint does not stick to the sky.
