When Dev's letter of complaint was presented, Baba said, 'the state of mind within the letter is already known and stands before Me in person.' What does this reveal about Baba's nature?

This profound statement from Sai Baba, recorded in Chapter 40, reveals His divine attributes of omniscience and omnipresence. By saying this, Baba was explaining that He did not need the physical letter to know its contents or the emotional state of its writer, Dev. He was already perfectly aware of Dev's thoughts, disappointment, and feelings of being deceived, as if Dev himself were standing right there. It shows that Baba's connection with his devotees transcends physical distance and material forms of communication. His consciousness is all-pervading, and He has direct, instantaneous access to the innermost hearts and minds of those who seek him.
