Chapter 20 of the Sai Satcharitra posits that Sai Baba is originally formless but took on a physical form purely for the sake of his devotees. The text uses the metaphor of an actor, stating that Baba accepted the role of "Maya" and played his part perfectly. He is also described as a "Siddhashram" (abode of the perfected), whose mere sight relieves worldly fatigue and whose presence drives away the delusion of existence. This chapter emphasizes the idea that his physical manifestation was an act of grace to help his followers navigate their spiritual paths and end the cycle of rebirths.
