Chapter 23 seems to present a dual perspective on Sai Baba's divine nature. How does it describe Him and His own self-perception?

Chapter 23 presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's nature. On one hand, it states that devotees considered Him to be an Incarnation (Avatar) because He exhibited all the necessary signs and characteristics. On the other hand, the chapter makes it clear that Baba's own self-perception was one of profound humility. He would say, "I am a humble servant in the court of Allah," and his constant chants were "Allah Malik" (God is the Master). He never proclaimed "Anal Haq" (I am God). As Chapter 23 explains, He displayed perfect human conduct, saw the Almighty in all beings without distinction, and emphasized that a saint's true state cannot be understood by external factors, as it is always beyond such things.
