Explain the paradoxical relationship between Sai's detachment and his active support for devotees as depicted in Chapter 36.

📖 Chapter 36

Chapter 36 presents a fascinating paradox in Sai Baba's nature. On one hand, he is depicted as deeply engaged with his followers, being a "complete supporter of spiritual goals" who "protects them completely" and fulfills their desires. On the other hand, the text describes him as being "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude" and "staying distant and detached from his name." This suggests a divine being who acts within the world without being bound by it. He causes inconceivable events to occur and redeems infinite beings, yet remains a detached witness. This duality, as detailed in Chapter 36, showcases a perfected state of being active in grace while remaining transcendent and unattached.
