What was Sai Baba's personal role in preparing the food for the Handi?

Sai Baba was intimately involved in every aspect of preparing food in the Handi. Chapter 38 details how He would personally go to the grocer to purchase all the ingredients, including vegetables, coconut, and spices, paying for them in cash. In the Masjid, He would use a grinding stone with his own hands to grind wheat, pulses, and millet. Baba performed the labor of grinding spices with great devotion and personally managed the cooking fire, adjusting the fuel to make the heat mild or intense as needed. This shows that the main labor for the Handi was tirelessly done by Baba Himself.
