Chapter 23 presents a fascinating perspective on Sai Baba's identity. It states that devotees considered Him an Incarnation (Avatar) because He possessed all the requisite signs and characteristics. Yet, the chapter emphasizes that Baba Himself never claimed divinity. He would often say, "I am a humble servant in the court of Allah," and his constant chant was "Allah Malik" (God is the Master). He never proclaimed "Anal Haq" (I am God). Instead, as Chapter 23 illustrates, He lived a life of perfect human conduct, saw Narayana in all living beings without distinction, and always referred to Himself as a poor servant of God. This demonstrates that a saint's true state is beyond external labels and that Baba chose humility as his primary mode of expression.
How does Chapter 23 describe the dual nature of Sai Baba as both a divine Avatar and a humble servant?
