The paradox of Sai Baba being a perfected being (Siddha) yet conducting himself as a seeker (Sadhaka) reveals his profound humility and compassion, as detailed in Chapter 4. Although he was born in a state of perfection and always situated in the Self, he maintained a prideless and very humble demeanor to keep everyone's heart at ease. This approachability was a manifestation of his 'steady grace' and his nature as a 'lover of the humble.' By acting as a seeker, he made the spiritual path accessible and demonstrated that true greatness lies in humility, not in the overt display of divine power or status.
The source text says Baba was a perfected being (Siddha) but his conduct was like that of a seeker (Sadhaka). What does this paradox reveal about his character?
