How does the text reconcile Sai Baba's detachment with his active involvement in his devotees' lives?

Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's paradoxical nature. On one hand, he is described as being indifferent to the "I am He" (So-ham) attitude and someone who stays "distant and detached from his name." This points to his complete spiritual liberation. On the other hand, this very detachment allows him to be fully engaged in the world without attachment. The chapter states he "causes various events to occur" and "fulfills the desires of the devotees" by using a speaker and listener as a mere pretext. As Chapter 36 explains, his grace is bestowed upon whom he chooses, demonstrating that his detachment is not aloofness but a higher state from which he orchestrates divine play for the welfare of others.
