How does Chapter 36 portray the paradox of Sai Baba being a detached supreme entity while also being an active participant in his devotees' lives?

Chapter 36 presents Sai Baba as a figure who embodies this paradox beautifully. He is described as the "swan in the lake of the Supreme," who is indifferent to the ego-centric "I am He" attitude, suggesting a state of ultimate detachment. The text mentions he stays "distant and detached from his name." Yet, in the same breath, it states that he is the one who causes events to occur and lovingly provides memories of his stories to fulfill the desires of devotees. This chapter illustrates that Sai operates as both the formless incarnation of Truth and a personal guide who orchestrates divine play for the spiritual benefit of his followers.
