Based on the invocations in Chapter 1, how is Sai Baba's divine nature portrayed in relation to the Hindu pantheon?

Chapter 1 portrays Sai Baba's divine nature as being non-dual and encompassing various deities within the Hindu pantheon. The text explicitly states, 'This Sai himself is Ganesha Ganapati' and 'Sai himself is Goddess Saraswati, holding the Omkara-veena in hand.' Furthermore, it addresses Sai Nath directly, proclaiming, 'O self-effulgent Sainath, you alone are our Lord of Ganas (Ganadhish), the Lord of Savitri (Brahma), the Lord of Rama (Vishnu), or the Lord of Uma (Shiva).' This establishes Sai Baba not just as a Guru but as the embodiment of the primary deities, presenting him as the ultimate reality for his devotees.
