How does Chapter 1 establish the non-dual nature of Sai Baba by comparing him to various deities?

Chapter 1 establishes the non-dual and all-encompassing nature of Sai Baba by systematically identifying him with the very deities being invoked. After praising Lord Ganesha as the remover of obstacles, the text asserts, "This Sai himself is Ganesha Ganapati." Similarly, after invoking Goddess Saraswati, it states, "Sai himself is Goddess Saraswati." The chapter extends this by bowing to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shankar and then addressing Sai as the embodiment of all of them, calling him our "Lord of Ganas (Ganadhish), the Lord of Savitri (Brahma), the Lord of Rama (Vishnu), or the Lord of Uma (Shiva)." This literary technique portrays Sai as the supreme, non-dual reality encompassing all divine forms.
