Can you elaborate on the philosophical idea that Sai Baba is 'distant and detached' yet still causes events to occur?

📖 Chapter 36

Chapter 36 presents a sophisticated concept of divine action. It states that Sai Baba is capable of "staying distant and detached from his name," while simultaneously causing "various events to occur." This suggests that his power operates from a transcendental level, not from a place of personal ego or attachment to outcomes. He is described as a "witness" and is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude," which reinforces his detachment. This means he is the ultimate cause of events through his grace, but he remains uninvolved in the manner of an ordinary being, acting as a pure, unattached consciousness.
