What does the story of Sapatnekar teach us about Sai Baba's divine nature and his relationship with the universe?

The story of Sapatnekar is used in the Shri Sai Satcharitra to illustrate Sai Baba's supreme and non-dualistic nature. By knowing and narrating every detail of Sapatnekar's life, Baba demonstrated that he is the ultimate inner knower (Antaryami). Chapter 48 explains this by stating that Baba is the form of Brahman and the entire universe is his family. For him, there is no separation between "mine" and "thine" because he has manifested as the entire universe itself. The text emphasizes that one who is merged with the Supreme Being transcends the language of duality. This leela shows that Baba is one with all of creation and perceives everything directly, without the limitations that bind ordinary beings.
