The beginning of Chapter 12 portrays Sai Baba as the "embodiment of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss" and the source of joy who calms the turmoil of worldly existence. He is described as having incarnated for the sake of His devotees, being the king of knowledge seated in absolute liberation. According to this chapter, saints like Sai possess extreme affection for every living being while remaining detached from everything else. They are powerful yet renounced, maintaining an "enmity-free equality everywhere." The text emphasizes that saints are inseparable from the Supreme Soul and that to them, a pauper and a king are the same.
