How does Chapter 23 describe Sai Baba's identity, particularly the contrast between how his devotees saw him and how he described himself?

πŸ“– Chapter 23

Chapter 23 presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's identity. While followers and the author considered him an Incarnation (Avatar) because he displayed all the necessary signs, Baba himself rejected any divine title. The text explicitly states that he would say, 'I am a humble servant in the court of Allah.' He never proclaimed 'Anal Haq' (I am God), a declaration made by some mystics. Instead, his constant chants were 'Ya-De-Haq' (He is the Truth) and 'Allah Malik' (God is the Master). Chapter 23 emphasizes that he practiced perfect human conduct, saw God in all living beings, and never considered anyone inferior. This highlights a key teaching: a true saint's greatness lies not in self-proclamation but in humility and the ability to see the divine in everything.
