Chapter 20 begins by describing Sai Baba as a 'Siddhashram' (abode of the perfected), whose very sight relieves the fatigue of worldly life. It poetically states that Sai, who is originally formless, took on a physical form for the sake of his devotees, playing a role like an actor. The chapter then vividly paints a picture of the scene at the Masjid after the noon Aarti. It describes how the Maharaj, with a merciful gaze, would distribute Udi to the devotees who rushed to his feet. He would lovingly place the sacred ash in their cupped hands and apply it to their foreheads with his thumb, his heart filled with boundless love.
