Chapter 51 draws a direct parallel between Sai Baba's teachings on knowledge and the dialogue between Shri Krishna and Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. The chapter references the end of the Gita where Krishna asks Arjuna if his delusion has been destroyed, not if he has attained knowledge. Arjuna confirms that his delusion has vanished. Chapter 51 explains that 'delusion' (moha) is just another word for ignorance and that destroying it is the key. This connection serves to elevate Sai's role, presenting him as an 'illuminator of the meaning of the Gita' and reinforcing the idea that his grace, like Krishna's, leads to the destruction of ignorance.
