Chapter 36 presents Sai Baba as a figure of profound paradoxes. On one hand, he is described as having "no name or village," yet he possesses "infinite glory." This highlights his transcendent nature, unconfined by worldly identifiers. The text notes he is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude," suggesting a state beyond ego, yet he has the power to "turn a beggar into a king in a moment with the play of his eyebrows." As Chapter 36 explains, he stays "distant and detached from his name" while simultaneously causing "various events to occur," embodying the unity of the absolute and the relative.
Can you explain the paradoxical nature of Sai Baba as depicted in Chapter 36, particularly concerning his identity and power?
