Chapter 36 delves into profound philosophical concepts, describing Sai Baba's state as being beyond ordinary identification. The text states he is 'indifferent to the "I am He" (So-ham) attitude,' suggesting a transcendence of even the highest spiritual ego. A key paradox is presented in this chapter: he is described as 'staying distant and detached from his name,' yet he simultaneously 'causes various events to occur.' This illustrates the nature of a divine being who acts as an unattached witness (Sakshi) while also being the prime mover of events. As the 'incarnation of the knowledge of Truth,' he doesn't just possess wisdom; he actively 'shows the realization as a witness,' guiding others to enlightenment from a state of perfect detachment.
