How does the text describe the nature and state of great saints like Sai Baba, especially in contrast to ordinary people entangled in worldly affairs?

πŸ“– Chapter 14

Chapter 14 provides a profound description of the nature of great saints. They are likened to the moon, which may appear reflected in water but is actually far beyond it. Similarly, though saints like Sai Baba are surrounded by devotees, they remain internally detached and unattached. Their mental state is always fixed on their true nature, turned away from the visible world. The text states that such perfected individuals have abandoned false superimpositions like name and form to achieve a state of pure knowledge. In this state, they are 'always engrossed in self-bliss' and unaffected by Maya, or illusion. This is a stark contrast to ordinary people, who are described as being deluded and constantly distressed by sorrows such as birth and death.
