Chapter 38 portrays Sai Baba as a divine being with a clear purpose. He is hailed with titles like "Destroyer of duality," "Enchanter of the minds of devotees," and "King of Gurus, the Cloud of Mercy." The text asserts that Baba has taken his incarnation for the benefit of the people, acting as a protector for those who surrender to him. As described in Chapter 38, he is the "jewel among saints," a beautiful idol shaped from the pure essence of the Self-form. A key aspect of his nature is the paradox that while he himself is Atmaram (the soul of Rama) and the abode of perfect bliss with all desires fulfilled, his purpose is to make his devotees desireless, thereby freeing them from the cycle of worldly existence and attachments.
