Chapter 1 equates Sai Baba with multiple deities. Can you explain how he is identified with Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva?

πŸ“– Chapter 1

Chapter 1 of the Satcharitra presents a non-dualistic perspective, identifying Sai Baba as the embodiment of various principal deities. Initially, the text declares, "This Sai himself is Ganesha Ganapati," the remover of obstacles. This identification is then expanded to include the Hindu trinity responsible for creation, preservation, and destruction. The author directly addresses Sai, saying, "O self-effulgent Sainath, you alone are our Lord of Ganas (Ganadhish), the Lord of Savitri (Brahma), the Lord of Rama (Vishnu), or the Lord of Uma (Shiva)." This illustrates the teaching that Sai Baba is the supreme Sadguru who encompasses the attributes and functions of all these divine forms.
