The text calls Sai the 'complete Supreme Brahman' and says the world is an 'illusion'. What does this imply about his physical existence?

By identifying Sai Baba as the 'complete Supreme Brahman,' the text elevates him beyond physical limitations. As explained in Chapter 43, this means that for him, the concepts of birth and death are irrelevant. The statement that the world is an 'illusion' due to the 'truth of Brahman' implies that his physical body was merely an adjunct or a temporary vessel. He was not truly bound by it or its afflictions. The text notes that even if physical illnesses arose due to past karma, he had no awareness of them. His physical actions were a 'spontaneous play of Yoga' for his devotees' sake, not the actions of a being limited by a material form.
