Based on Chapter 23, how should one view a saint's external actions, like what they eat or their social conduct?

Chapter 23 strongly advises against judging a saint by their external characteristics or actions. It states that one cannot understand a saint's true state by observing their caste, their behavior, or what they eat, because their inner reality is always beyond such things. Although Baba Himself practiced pure Varnasrama (social and religious duties), He also saw Narayana in all beings, never disregarding anyone or considering them inferior. The example given is of the Yogi who saw Baba eating bread and onions. This seemingly mundane act does not diminish Baba's spiritual stature, illustrating that a saint's true essence is not defined by their outward conduct.
