How is Sai Baba's nature and form described in the introductory verses of Chapter 20?

In its opening verses, Chapter 20 describes Sai Baba as a 'Siddhashram,' or an abode of the perfected, whose mere sight relieves the fatigue of worldly life and dispels the delusion of existence for those close to him. The chapter explains a key spiritual concept: that Sai is originally formless but took on a physical form for the sake of his devotees. In this context, he is likened to an actor who has accepted the role of 'Maya' (the illusory world). This portrayal encourages devotees to meditate on this form of Sai to feel his presence and receive his grace.
