How is Shri Sai's greatness and merciful nature described at the beginning of Chapter 47?

The opening of Chapter 47 offers a powerful and poetic tribute to Shri Sai's divine nature. It describes his holy face as "the abode of supreme bliss," which can destroy the sorrows of infinite births with just a momentary glance. The text further explains that his "merciful glance" has the power to immediately liberate devotees from the bonds of Karma. Chapter 47 even uses the metaphor of the sacred River Ganges desiring the dust from the feet of saints like Sai to purify herself, which powerfully underscores his supreme spiritual status and purifying grace.
