How does Baba describe his own divine nature and his control over the universe?

In chapter 3, Baba describes his nature as absolute and all-pervading. He states, "I am the one residing in the heart... I am the Master of all," and reveals himself as the puppeteer (Sutradhari) of the entire cosmos. He claims the roles of "the creator, the sustainer, and the destroyer." Baba offers a crucial promise and a warning: "He who focuses on me has no difficulty whatsoever. But if I am forgotten, Maya blows away (the person) like dry grass." This power is reinforced by the narrator's conviction, also found in chapter 3, that "Baba's word will never fall empty," signifying his complete control and the absolute certainty of his pronouncements.
