Chapter 36 mentions that Sai Baba is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude." What does this philosophical statement imply about his spiritual state?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 36

The statement in Chapter 36 that Sai Baba is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude" provides a deep insight into his advanced spiritual nature. While the realization of 'So-ham' (identifying the individual self with the Supreme Being) is a high spiritual attainment, the text suggests Sai Baba has transcended even this state of identification. His indifference implies he is so completely merged with the Supreme that there is no need to even hold the attitude of being one with it. As Chapter 36 further elaborates, he instead "delights in the service of those liberated in Brahman," showing that his focus is on compassionate action for others rather than on his own state of liberation, a key quality of a Sadguru.
