Das Ganu's inspired song, summarized in Chapter 4, portrays Sai Baba as a figure who embodies universality and paradox. The song describes him as the Hindu Trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—revealing different divine aspects like a creator, a playful god, and a fierce destroyer. At the same time, it highlights his paradoxical nature that transcends religious boundaries: he loved Hindus yet lived in a mosque for Muslims. He was a humble beggar but possessed a power that could shame the wealthy. This depiction emphasizes Baba's role as a universal master who defies conventional categories and unites different faiths, symbolized by his mosque containing a sacred fire (Dhuni) where devotees of all kinds perform worship and Aarti.
