While scholars read about the scriptural truth 'Bliss is Brahman,' Chapter 11 explains that devotees in Shirdi experienced this principle directly through Sai Baba. He is described as the 'embodiment of pure bliss' and the 'image of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss' incarnated on earth in a visible form. His characteristics, such as being 'always satisfied with whatever comes spontaneously,' 'constantly immersed in the Self,' and existing 'beyond pleasure and pain,' are all hallmarks of one who is established in this supreme bliss. By his very presence and conduct, which radiated incomparable contentment and calmness, Sai Baba served as a living demonstration of this profound Vedantic truth, allowing his followers to witness and experience the bliss of the Self firsthand.
