Chapter 36 portrays Sai Baba as a being of immense power and profound detachment. He is described as the 'incarnation of the knowledge of Truth' who can 'turn a beggar into a king in a moment' with a mere glance. Paradoxically, while being described as having 'no name or village,' his glory is infinite. The chapter states he is indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude and remains distant and detached from his own name, yet he orchestrates various events and shows different forms to those he graces. This illustrates his nature as being both uninvolved and the ultimate cause, fulfilling devotees' desires while remaining a detached witness.
