Chapter 23 presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's divine status. While devotees considered him an Incarnation (Avatar) due to the presence of all the necessary signs, Baba himself maintained a position of profound humility. He would state, "I am a humble servant in the court of Allah," and frequently chanted "Allah Malik" (God is the Master). The chapter explains that even if he were an Avatar, he chose to display perfect human conduct and never claimed superiority. He saw the Almighty in all beings and never declared "Anal Haq" (I am God), consistently referring to himself as a poor servant of God, thereby harmonizing his divine nature with an exemplary life of humility.
Chapter 23 mentions Sai Baba is seen as an Avatar, yet he called himself a servant. How does the text reconcile these two views?
