How did Sai Baba view and interact with men and women, and what was his personal status?

According to Chapter 37, Sai Baba's conduct was a model of purity and respect. The text states that He held brotherhood with men and treated all women as His sisters or mothers, maintaining a familial and platonic relationship with everyone. Furthermore, it is explicitly mentioned that He was a celibate, or Urdhvareta, known to all, at all times. Being in the company of such a Satguru is presented as a great blessing, inspiring devotees to increase their spirit of service and fix their unwavering devotion at His feet, seeing divinity in all beings.
