Can you elaborate on Baba's philosophical explanation of his omnipresence and how it relates to dissolving desire?

📖 Chapter 3

In a profound teaching recorded in Chapter 3, Sai Baba explains that he is one with the entire universe. He identifies himself with the "eightfold nature (Ashtadha-prakriti)," stating that whatever has a name, form, or shape in the world is simply a manifestation of his play. He is filled in all things, and the sacred syllable Om is his indicator. Because he is everywhere and in everything, there is no object separate from the Self. Chapter 3 explains that when a person internalizes this truth—that "I alone am everywhere"—the sense of 'I' and 'mine' dissolves. Since Sai Maharaj is the form of the Soul itself, which has no impulse for desire, understanding this oneness causes personal desires to "dissolve like hail heated by the rays of the sun."
