Before narrating the story of Kaka Mahajani's friend, Chapter 35 provides a profound description of a devotee's experience of Sai Baba. The author explains that for a true devotee, a mere glance from Sai is enough to eliminate hunger and thirst, making food and water unnecessary. This experience transcends the physical, as the "triad of the seen, the seer, and the seeing vanishes," erasing duality. This principle extends to all senses: the sense of touch is filled with Sai's light, the nose perceives Sai's residence in a scent, and hearing a word can manifest Sai's form, shattering the triad of hearer, hearing, and the heard. Even taste and the organs of action become instruments of service to Sai, leading to a state of non-action (Naishkarmya).
Describe the author's philosophical reflection on how a devotee experiences Sai through their senses.
