The text describes Sai as being 'indifferent to the "I am He" (So-ham) attitude.' What does this detail from Chapter 36 imply about his spiritual state?

This specific detail in Chapter 36 provides deep insight into Sai Baba's advanced spiritual state. The "So-ham" or "I am He" attitude can sometimes be a trap of spiritual ego, where one identifies with the Supreme but retains a subtle sense of self. By stating Sai is indifferent to it, the text suggests he has transcended even this high state of identification. Instead of dwelling in that realization for himself, he "delights in the service of those liberated in Brahman." This shows a compassionate, active, and selfless form of divinity, focused on service and redemption for others rather than passive self-absorption, even at the highest level of spiritual attainment.
