Chapter 50 explores and ultimately rejects comparing Sai Baba to the sun and the moon to emphasize his supreme, eternal nature. The author considers comparing Sai to the sun but finds it unfit because 'that sun sets,' implying a period of absence or limitation that does not apply to Sai. Similarly, a comparison to the moon is dismissed because the moon 'wanes' and is not always in its full, radiant state. As the chapter beautifully concludes, these analogies are inadequate because 'Sai is forever complete.' This illustrates that Sai's divine presence and perfection are constant and absolute, unlike the cyclical and impermanent phenomena of the natural world.
Chapter 50 makes comparisons between Sai and celestial bodies. What are these comparisons and why are they ultimately dismissed?
