What was the psychological and spiritual impact on the grocers after they witnessed Sai Baba burn water in the lamps?

As detailed in Chapter 5, the grocers' reaction to the miracle of the burning water was a mixture of shock, guilt, and fear. Initially, they were so amazed they 'put their fingers in their mouths.' This amazement quickly turned to repentance as they realized, 'We lied to Baba and did something wrong.' They felt they had sinned by speaking an untruth and giving Baba needless trouble. The text states that the unworthy grocers 'began to tremble everywhere' as the lamps burned all night without oil, a testament to the profound power they had foolishly challenged.
