It is clear that you will not be able to see God in Baba or any other
human person. There is nothing wrong with that.
If you wish to convince others to disbelieve by asking logical
questions, you may find the going quite difficult. If you wish to
prove that he is a fraud, you could try taking videos and still photos
yourself. You may succeed. If that is your purpose in life.
But best of all would perhaps be for you (if you need to find God) to
seek Him in places that you are comfortable with. No one else can show
you God. You have to see Him for yourself. Where you can believe he
will be found.
Indian newspapers dismissed the Ganesha Milk miracle as a fraud, a
mass hallucination, cappillary action... To them, they were not wrong.
They saw reality as they believed it.
I believe, during the last Thaipusam, I saw God manifested in one of
the Kavadi bearers. I don't need to prove it to you. Just mentioning
it in passing.
Peace and blessings.
