Chapter 36 claims Sai Baba can 'turn a beggar into a king' yet is 'indifferent to the 'I am He' attitude.' How does the text reconcile this immense power with his described detachment?

πŸ“– Chapter 36

Chapter 36 reconciles Sai Baba's immense power with his profound detachment by portraying his actions as a divine play, or 'lila.' While he possesses the ability to "turn a beggar into a king in a moment with the play of his eyebrows," he does so as a detached witness. The chapter explains that he is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude" and stays "distant and detached from his name." This suggests his miraculous actions are not driven by ego or personal will but are a natural manifestation of his divine nature as an "incarnation of the knowledge of Truth," through which he fulfills the desires of devotees without attachment to the outcomes.
