What does the story of Kaka Mahajani's friend reveal about Sai Baba's omniscience and his method of dealing with doubters?

The account of Kaka Mahajani's friend provides a powerful example of Sai Baba's omniscience. Baba knew the friend's secret resolve not to bow or give Dakshina before he even arrived. Instead of confronting him, Baba used a deeply personal and loving approach. By speaking in the exact tone of the man's deceased father, Baba bypassed his intellectual defenses and touched his heart directly. Chapter 35 explains that this melted the man's skepticism. Furthermore, by not asking for Dakshina, Baba showed he knew the man's internal state and waited for a genuine change of heart, demonstrating that true devotion must come from within.
