How does the beginning of Chapter 20 portray the spiritual nature of Sai Baba and his effect on his followers?

Chapter 20 begins by portraying Sai Baba in profound spiritual terms. It states that Sai is originally formless but took on a physical form for the sake of his devotees, much like an actor playing a role. The chapter refers to Shirdi as a "Siddhashram" (abode of the perfected) because of Sai's presence. It highlights his powerful effect on followers, explaining that the mere sight of him relieves the fatigue of worldly life and his constant presence drives away the delusion of existence. The text suggests that by giving the shelter of eternal rest, he ends the cycle of rebirth for his devotees.
