What was Sai Baba's response when a devotee named Pundalikrao became distressed over a broken coconut intended for Him?

📖 Chapter 51

The story of Pundalikrao's distress is detailed in Chapter 51. When Pundalikrao was upset that a coconut given by a Swami for Baba had broken, Sai Baba consoled him with a profound teaching. Baba explained that the entire event, including the breaking of the fruit, was a manifestation of His own resolve. He advised Pundalikrao, "You hold onto the idea of being the 'doer' and thus consider yourself an offender. Achieve this state of non-doership, and all troubles will end." Baba lovingly assured him that since the fruit had reached Pundalikrao's family, it had essentially reached Him, which finally brought peace to the devotee's mind.
