Chapter 36 describes Sai Baba as being "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude." This statement highlights his profound humility and detachment from spiritual ego, rather than a rejection of Vedantic principles. The text further clarifies that "he delights in the service of those liberated in Brahman," suggesting his focus was on selfless service and devotion over the intellectual assertion of identity with the Absolute. As Chapter 36 explains, he is the "incarnation of the knowledge of Truth" who remains detached while causing events, guiding others towards realization rather than simply claiming a state of being for himself.
The Satcharitra says Sai Baba was indifferent to the 'So-ham' attitude. Does this imply he rejected the core Vedantic teaching that the individual self is one with the absolute Brahman?
