Before the miracle occurred, Sai Baba had established a daily routine centered on his love for lighting lamps. Chapter 5 explains that he had a great fondness for the festival of lights. As part of his custom, he would take a tin pot in his hand and personally go to the shops of the grocers and oil-merchants. There, he would beg for oil, which he then used to fill and light the lamps in both the temple and the mosque. This practice continued for some days, with Baba even tearing rags to make wicks, until the grocers decided to stop providing the oil for free.
