Chapter 23 mentions that Sai Baba was considered an Avatar but called himself a servant of God. How does the text explain this apparent contradiction?

Chapter 23 addresses this by explaining that while devotees considered Sai Baba an Incarnation (Avatar) due to the presence of all the necessary signs, He himself maintained a stance of profound humility. He would say, "I am a humble servant in the court of Allah." The chapter suggests this was part of his perfect human conduct; He saw the Almighty in all things and never disregarded or considered anyone inferior. Instead of claiming divinity with a phrase like "Anal Haq" (I am God), His constant chants were "I am a poor servant," "Ya-De-Haq" (He is the Truth), and "Allah Malik" (God is the Master), reinforcing his role as a devotee and servant.
