The text describes Sai as both the 'Eternal Supreme Brahman' and 'subservient to his devotees.' How can these two seemingly contradictory descriptions be reconciled based on the provided chapter?

According to Chapter 48, Sai's subservience is not a contradiction of his supreme nature but rather a deliberate act of love. The text explains that this is his 'vow' and a way 'to clearly show the multitude of devotees that he is the beloved of his devotees.' He acts this way out of pure love, and this quality is celebrated with victorious cries like, 'Victory to the Mass of Consciousness, who is subservient to his devotees!' Therefore, this subservience is a chosen expression of his divine love and mercy, not a diminishment of his supreme status.
