What is the significance of Sai Baba, who hadn't formally studied Sanskrit, discussing a complex Gita verse?

The text raises this very point as a source of wonder. Chapter 39 highlights the curiosity people had about how Sai Baba could possess such profound understanding without formal training. The narrative poses questions like, "When did he study Sanskrit? When did he read the Gita?" Despite this, he was recognized as "the knower of the heart of the Gita's meaning." This demonstrates that the knowledge of Saints like Sai Baba is beyond conventional means of learning and intellectual reach. His ability to question Nana and later provide a unique interpretation underscores a divine, intuitive wisdom that transcends academic study.
