What is the 'secret' or core teaching revealed in the story from Chapter 9 about the devotee and the forgotten snack?

📖 Chapter 9

The narrative in Chapter 9 explicitly reveals the core teaching, or 'secret,' of the story concerning the forgotten snack. After describing how Baba satisfied the mother's devotion and increased the devotee's glory, the text states: "Another secret of these stories: One should always see God in all beings. This alone is agreed by all scriptures; this is the principle here." Therefore, the central lesson is not merely about remembering to make offerings, but about adopting a worldview that perceives the divine in everyone and everything. The entire episode with the devotee, his mother's love, and Baba's omniscience serves as a powerful illustration of this ultimate spiritual principle.
