How did Sai Baba behave and how did he view others around him?

According to Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's actions were often incomprehensible and marvelous. His state was unpredictable; sometimes he was intoxicated with the bliss of the Self (Brahmananda), and at other times he performed all actions while remaining completely detached. He was always described as being alert and focused on Self-realization. In his interactions with people, he was a model of spiritual relationship, holding brotherhood with men and treating all women as his sisters or mothers. He was known to all as a celibate, and in his company, one could hope for wisdom and unwavering devotion to grow.
