Chapter 6 illustrates how devotees experienced Sai Baba as the manifest form of other revered deities. The text describes that when a devotee reads scriptures or Puranas, the remembrance of the Sadguru is constant, and 'Sai Himself takes the form of Rama and Krishna and makes one hear His own life story.' This suggests that Baba's life and teachings were seen as a contemporary retelling of ancient divine plays. More specifically, the chapter mentions that while listening to a discourse on the Bhagavat Purana, a devotee would perceive Sai Baba as Lord Krishna from head to toe, feeling as if Baba Himself were singing the Uddhava Gita for their spiritual welfare.
