How can Chapter 36 claim that Sai Baba has 'no name or village' when he is famously known as Sai Baba of Shirdi?

The statement in Chapter 36 that Sai Baba has 'no name or village' is intended as a philosophical reflection on his transcendent nature, not a literal fact. The passage describes him as the 'swan in the lake of the Supreme' and an 'incarnation of the knowledge of Truth,' emphasizing that his true essence is beyond worldly labels. According to Chapter 36, he is a universal spiritual force who, despite being 'distant and detached from his name,' orchestrates events and bestows grace. This description points to his infinite, unattached state, suggesting his true identity is not limited to the name and place his devotees knew him by.
