Based on Chapter 5, analyze the philosophical concept of a "wise man" (Jivanmukta) and how Sai Baba's conduct exemplifies this.

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 delves into the nature of a wise person, or Jivanmukta, whose actions are governed by previous karma without any sense of doership. The text explains, "The bodily activities of a wise man happen according to previous karma; he does not know the burden of destiny’s karma nor is he the doer of karma." This state is characterized by non-duality, where the individual sees their own form as the entire universe. As Chapter 5 notes, people were amazed by Baba's desireless state at a young age. His humility, particularly in the context of the Fakir where he maintained a disciple-like attitude, exemplifies the principle of acting without pride, which is crucial for a wise man who has 'burned the pride of the body'.
