Chapter 37 draws a sharp contrast between Sai Baba's realized state and the mundane goal of reaching heaven. Baba is described as being 'intoxicated with Brahmananda' and 'satisfied with Self-knowledge,' existing in a detached yet ever-alert state of Self-realization. Conversely, the chapter critiques the pursuit of a heavenly home, dismissing it as a 'place for sensual enjoyment' that is ultimately useless without the remembrance of God. The true heavenly state is defined not as a place, but as the Cosmic Self-form, free from all suffering and duality—a state that Baba himself appears to embody, making the common desire for heaven seem trivial in comparison.
