What does the story of Sapatnekar reveal about Sai Baba's divine nature and omniscience?

The incident with Sapatnekar serves as a powerful illustration of Sai Baba's divine nature. As Chapter 48 explains, after Baba revealed Sapatnekar's life story, it became clear that everything was as transparent to Baba as "a gooseberry in the palm of the hand." The text elaborates that Baba is the form of Brahman, one with all of creation, and the entire universe is his family. For him, there is no distinction between "mine" and "thine" because he has manifested as the universe itself. This state of being merged with the Supreme Being means he is a "great knower of the inner self," transcending the duality of seer and seen, which explains his profound omniscience.
