The comparison of Sai to a philosopher's stone, or "Paris," is a powerful analogy used in Chapter 4 to explain his extraordinary spiritual function. While a philosopher's stone merely turns iron into gold, Sai's action as the "Lord of Yoga" is described as even more profound. He gives his own form, which is Self-realization, to his devotees. This highlights that his yogic mastery was not just for his own attainment but was a transformative force for others. By discarding the feeling of duality and realizing the oneness of all existence as Brahman, he could guide others to that same supreme state of devotion and happiness.
