Chapter 39 explains that Sai Baba's arrival in Shirdi was not accidental but a deliberate incarnation for a specific purpose. After clarifying that Chand Patil was just an instrument, the text states that Sai came to Shirdi 'out of great concern for the upliftment of his devotees.' It then specifies the beneficiaries of his grace, asking rhetorically, 'who else but Sai would uplift them?' The people identified are 'The dull-witted, the fallen, and the poor, those without vows, penance, or sacraments—simple and faithful people.' This description from Chapter 39 underscores Sai's mission as a savior for the humble, the marginalized, and those who may lack formal religious discipline but possess simple and sincere faith, making his grace accessible to all.
