Chapter 36 says Sai is indifferent to the 'So-ham' attitude. Does this imply a rejection of Advaita principles or a specific philosophical stance?

πŸ“– Chapter 36

The description in Chapter 36 states that Sai Baba is "the swan in the lake of the Supreme; he is indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude; he delights in the service of those liberated in Brahman." This passage characterizes his unique spiritual state as being beyond ego identification, even the high spiritual identification of 'So-ham' (I am He). Instead, it highlights his delight in service. The text does not frame this as a rejection of Advaita Vedanta or any specific philosophy. Rather, as Chapter 36 explains, it emphasizes his detachment and his focus on devotion and service as the means by which he redeems infinite beings, without engaging in a detailed philosophical debate.
