What is the common lesson about a devotee's intentions and spoken words found in the stories of Appasaheb Kulkarni and Haribhau Karnik?

The two stories presented in Chapter 33, concerning Appasaheb Kulkarni and Haribhau Karnik, collectively teach a profound lesson about the power of a devotee's thoughts and words. In Karnik's case, he had a pure, initial impulse to give an extra Rupee but suppressed it. Sai Baba arranged for this offering to be collected later in Nashik through another saint, emphasizing that good inclinations should be nurtured. Conversely, Appasaheb verbally mentioned possessing a ten-Rupee note. The Fakir, acting as a medium for Sai, engineered the situation to take that specific note, thereby fulfilling Appasaheb's spoken declaration. The overarching principle from these narratives is that Sai is acutely aware of both our innermost intentions and our spoken commitments, and he ensures that they are brought to fruition, underscoring the importance of sincerity in both heart and speech.
