How does Chapter 23 reconcile Sai Baba's simple human actions, like eating onions, with his divine status?

Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra provides a profound explanation for this apparent contradiction. It explicitly states that one cannot understand a saint's true state by their external behaviors, caste, or what they eat, as their inner reality is always beyond such things. The chapter notes that even if Baba was an Avatar, He displayed perfect human conduct and practiced appropriate social duties (Varnasrama). The story of the yogi seeing Baba eat bread and onions serves as a direct illustration of this principle. Baba’s simple act demonstrates that a true Guru's greatness is not in esoteric displays but in their ability to see the Almighty in all things and live in harmony, without ever disregarding anyone.
