How does Chapter 36 describe Sai Baba's divine power and his relationship with his devotees?

Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra portrays Sai Baba as a being of immense, almost paradoxical power. It states that he can 'turn a beggar into a king in a moment with the play of his eyebrows,' yet he himself is detached and has no name or village. For his devotees, his role is that of a complete protector. As Chapter 36 describes, for those who 'grasp him through meditation or sing loving hymns to him, he never lets them lack anything; he protects them completely.' He is also depicted as the active agent behind the scenes, making 'the listener and speaker a mere pretext' in order to fulfill the spiritual desires of his followers.
