Chapter 20 mentions that Sai is 'originally formless.' What does the chapter say about why he took a physical form?

Chapter 20 of the Sai Satcharitra offers a profound philosophical insight into Sai Baba's nature. It states that "Sai is originally formless, but took form for the sake of his devotees." This suggests that his physical manifestation was an act of compassion for his followers, providing them with a tangible focus for their devotion. The text further elaborates on this by using a metaphor, explaining that Baba accepted the role of the actress "Maya" and "truly played like an actor." This implies that his human form was a role he played to guide and interact with humanity on its own terms.
