Chapter 23 presents Baba as both an Avatar and a humble servant. How does the text reconcile these two descriptions?

Chapter 23 addresses this by first acknowledging that devotees considered Sai Baba to be an Incarnation (Avatar) because all the signs were present. However, the chapter immediately clarifies that Baba Himself rejected such a high title, preferring to say, 'I am a humble servant in the court of Allah.' His constant chants were 'Allah Malik' (God is the Master) and 'I am a poor servant.' The text suggests that even if He were an Avatar, He chose to display perfect human conduct, saw the Almighty in all beings, and never disregarded anyone, thereby showing that His true state was one of profound humility and service to God.
