How does Chapter 47 describe the divine presence and merciful grace of Shri Sai?

Chapter 47 opens with powerful praise for Shri Sai's divine nature. His face is called the 'abode of supreme bliss,' which can destroy the sorrows of infinite births upon being seen. The chapter emphasizes that His 'merciful glance' has the power to immediately liberate devotees from the bonds of Karma, allowing them to attain self-bliss. A key metaphor used in Chapter 47 compares Sai's grace to the sun, in whose light the 'firefly of worldly existence' loses its luster and hides. This illustrates that His divine presence completely overshadows and diminishes the troubles and attachments of the material world.
