What is the meaning of the analogy where Sai Baba is called the 'puppeteer' and humans are his 'puppets'?

πŸ“– Chapter 19

The analogy of the puppeteer and puppets, found in Chapter 19, illustrates the concept of divine will and guidance. In this metaphor, 'Mother Sai' is the puppeteer who pulls the strings, and humans are the puppets. This means that our inspirations and even the events around us are not random but are orchestrated by Sai Baba's will. The text explains, 'Just as Baba pulls the strings, the inspiration happens accordingly.' This idea is shown when a devotee spontaneously sings a song about Rama just as the narrator is firming his resolve to chant the name. The narrator concludes that this was Baba's doing, a way to hand over a 'good practice accurately' without speaking a word, showing that we are instruments for a higher divine purpose.
