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

📖 Chapter 36

The statement from Chapter 36 that Sai Baba is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude" suggests an extremely advanced spiritual state beyond even the realization of unity with the Supreme. While 'So-ham' represents a high non-dualistic realization, the text implies that Sai operates from a level of being where this identification is transcended. He is described as the "swan in the lake of the Supreme" who "delights in the service of those liberated in Brahman." This, as per the details in Chapter 36, indicates a state of simultaneous oneness and compassionate service, where the ego or "I-ness" is so completely dissolved that even asserting this divine identity is irrelevant.
