The crucial detail that B.V. Dev forgot was Sai Baba's specific statement that when he came for the meal, 'two others will come with me.' This is highlighted in Chapter 40 when Dev reflects on his mistake. Despite three uninvited guests—a Sanyasi and two companions—appearing and being served, Dev failed to make the connection. He later expressed his regret, saying, 'Only one word of Baba's—'When I come for the meal, two others will come with me'—I forgot to pay attention to that.' This lapse in memory, combined with his prior encounter with the Sanyasi for a different purpose, caused the delusion that led him to believe Baba had not come.
