Chapter 23 presents a dual perspective on Sai Baba's identity. How was he viewed by his devotees versus how did he describe himself?

Chapter 23 highlights a fascinating duality in Sai Baba's identity. While his devotees considered him to be an Incarnation (Avatar) due to the presence of all the necessary signs and characteristics, Baba himself adopted a stance of profound humility. He would say, "I am a humble servant in the court of Allah." Instead of claiming divinity with a phrase like "Anal Haq" (I am God), his constant chants were "I am a poor servant," "He is the Truth (Ya-De-Haq)," and "Allah Malik" (God is the Master). This chapter shows that even if he were an Avatar, he chose to display perfect human conduct as a servant of God.
