How does the text describe Sai Baba's relationship with concepts like ego and identity, such as 'I-ness' or 'So-ham'?

Chapter 36 provides insight into Sai Baba's enlightened state by contrasting it with common spiritual and egoistic concepts. The narrator first confronts their own 'I-ness' (ego), suggesting that such ego is an obstacle. Sai Baba, in contrast, is described as the 'swan in the lake of the Supreme' who is 'indifferent to the "I am He" (So-ham) attitude.' This indicates his transcendence beyond even advanced spiritual declarations of identity with the divine, suggesting a state of pure being that doesn't require such affirmations. He is also described as being 'distant and detached from his name,' further emphasizing his freedom from the confines of identity and ego, allowing him to be a pure 'incarnation of the knowledge of Truth.'
