Based on Chapter 23, what is the relationship between a saint's true nature and their external behaviors like diet or caste?

Chapter 23 makes a strong point that a saint's true state is completely independent of their external circumstances or actions. The text explicitly states that one cannot understand their true state by observing their caste, their behavior, or what they eat, as it is 'always beyond such things.' This idea is reinforced by the narrative where a Yogi seeking a high spiritual experience finds Baba, whom devotees considered an Avatar, simply eating bread and onions. This illustrates the teaching that a saint's inner reality and divine connection are not confined by or even necessarily reflected in conventional conduct or social norms.
