According to Chapter 23, while devotees considered Sai Baba to be an Incarnation (Avatar) because He displayed all the necessary signs, Baba presented Himself with great humility. He would say, "I am a humble servant in the court of Allah." The chapter notes that He never proclaimed "Anal Haq" (I am God), a statement made by some saints. Instead, His constant chants were "I am a poor servant," "He is the Truth (Ya-De-Haq)," and "Allah Malik" (God is the Master). This highlights a key teaching in Chapter 23: even if He were an Avatar, He displayed perfect human conduct and saw Himself as a servant of the Almighty, harmonizing with God in all things.
How did Sai Baba describe His own nature and identity in Chapter 23, especially in contrast to how His devotees perceived Him?
