Chapter 23 presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's status. While the author asserts that Baba is considered an Incarnation (Avatar) due to the presence of all necessary signs, it also highlights Baba's own words. He would consistently refer to himself as "a humble servant in the court of Allah" and chant phrases like "I am a poor servant" and "Allah Malik" (God is the Master). The chapter suggests that even as an Avatar, He displayed perfect human conduct and never arrogantly proclaimed "Anal Haq" (I am God). This demonstrates that a saint's true state is beyond such external labels and that He saw himself in service to the Almighty present in all things.
How does Chapter 23 describe the apparent contradiction of Sai Baba being an Avatar while calling himself a servant?
