Chapter 40 explains that Sai Baba's grace actively destroys the sense of duality, unifying the devotee with the Guru. The text describes how Sai, by placing His hand upon a devotee's head, performs shaktipat (transmission of spiritual energy) and dissolves the separate feelings of "me" and "you." The chapter uses a powerful analogy, comparing the devotee and Guru to a river and an ocean; though they have different names, they become one when they meet. As Chapter 40 illustrates, when a devotee seeks exclusive refuge, Sai grants them His own Guru-nature, embracing them fully and making the unattainable attainable through this spiritual union.
Based on Chapter 40, what is Sai Baba's approach to duality and the relationship between a devotee and the Guru?
