Chapter 20 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra portrays Sai Baba as a being who transcends the physical, yet lovingly engages with the material world for his devotees. The text explains that Sai is 'originally formless' but took on a body, accepting the role of 'Maya' like an actor for the benefit of his followers. His presence is described as a 'Siddhashram' (abode of the perfected), where his mere sight relieves the fatigue of worldly existence. This chapter also details his tangible acts of love, such as the post-Aarti distribution of Udi, where he fills his hands with the sacred ash and applies it to devotees' foreheads with 'boundless love in his heart.'
