Chapter 20 presents a dual portrait of Sai Baba. On a divine level, he is described as originally formless but having taken a form for the sake of his devotees. He is called a 'Siddhashram' (abode of the perfected), whose sight relieves the fatigue of worldly life and who has the power to end the cycle of rebirths. As a loving guardian, the chapter details his tender interactions after the noon Aarti. He lovingly distributes Udi, applies it to devotees' foreheads with his thumb, and then personally instructs each one to go and have a meal, showing deep, personal care for their well-being.
Can you explain how Sai Baba is portrayed as both a divine being and a loving guardian in Chapter 20?
