According to Chapter 45, even though Sai Baba's physical form has vanished, His presence is preserved and continued through the Shri Sai Satcharitra. The chapter explicitly states that while the work of the incarnation was completed, 'this book, His literary form, will provide remembrance at every step.' It further explains that listening to these stories induces a unique state of concentration and indescribable peace. The author refers to the book as a 'speech-sacrifice' (Vag-yagna) and states that he who listens with a concentrated mind performs a 'supremely holy act.' Therefore, Chapter 45 presents the Satcharitra as the living, literary embodiment of Sai Baba for future devotees.
In what way does the Shri Sai Satcharitra itself act as a continuation of Sai Baba's presence, according to Chapter 45?
