How does Sai Baba use the analogy of the sea to explain the nature of the world and how a wise person should react to it?

Sai Baba uses a powerful analogy to describe the transient nature of the world. As detailed in Chapter 19, he compares the world's flux to the ocean during a strong wind, where countless "waves, bubbles, foam, whirlpools" appear. He explains that these are all just different forms of the same water, a "display of visual illusion" created by Maya that lasts only until the wind calms. Therefore, a person with discrimination is not bewildered by these constant changes. They understand that competing for these perishable forms is futile and instead "strive for the eternal gain," focusing on the unchangeable reality rather than the illusory flux of the world.
