Chapter 36 portrays Sai Baba through a series of profound paradoxes. He is described as having 'no name or village,' yet possessing 'infinite glory.' He is the 'incarnation of the knowledge of Truth' but remains 'distant and detached from his name' while causing various events to occur. This illustrates a being who is both transcendent and immanent. He can 'turn a beggar into a king in a moment with the play of his eyebrows,' signifying immense power wielded with complete detachment. Furthermore, he is 'indifferent to the "I am He" (So-ham) attitude,' showing a state beyond ego, yet he delights in the service of others, embodying selfless action.
Can you explain the paradoxical nature of Sai Baba's being as described in Chapter 36, specifically regarding his identity and actions?
