How does Chapter 30 explain the concept of Sai Baba being both formless (Nirguni) and having a form (Saguni)?

📖 Chapter 30

Chapter 30 of the Sai Satcharitra offers a concise yet profound explanation of Baba's dual nature. It begins by stating that in the beginning, Sai resides as the formless (Nirguni). However, the text clarifies that it is 'through the qualities of devotees' devotion' that Baba draws the formless into a form with attributes (Saguni). This teaching emphasizes that the manifest, physical form of the Guru is a compassionate response to the devotee's love and need for a tangible object of devotion. As this chapter beautifully illustrates, Sai's Saguni form is a direct result of His grace, making the abstract, formless divine accessible to His followers.
