How does Chapter 40 describe Sai Baba's method of spiritual transmission and his effect on a devotee's sense of self?

In Chapter 40, Shri Sai's spiritual power is described as profound and immediate. It mentions that when Sai's hand is placed upon a devotee's head, he 'immediately performs shaktipat,' which is the transmission of spiritual energy. This act is said to make the unattainable attainable for the devotee. The chapter further explains that Sai works to destroy the sense of duality. By dissolving the separate feelings of 'me' and 'you,' he helps the devotee overcome the illusion of being separate from the divine. This is a core teaching highlighted in Chapter 40, where Sai embraces those who seek exclusive refuge, making them one with him, like a river merging into the ocean.
