Chapter 19 provides several beautiful analogies to explain the nature of devotion toward an all-encompassing entity like Sai. It compares this worship to a devotee performing Aarti for the Sun with a small wick, or offering a jaggery snack to a Ganesha idol made of the very same jaggery. Another powerful image used is offering a palmful of water from the ocean back to the ocean itself. As the chapter clarifies, these acts may seem inappropriate at first glance, but the supreme power, whether it be the Sun or the Ocean, looks only at the devotee's faith and seeks to honor their devotion, not to judge the act itself.
How does Chapter 19 explain the act of worshiping a supreme being like Sai Baba, who is already vast and complete?
