The text describes Sai as both the 'Supreme Brahman' and 'subservient to his devotees.' How does Chapter 48 explain this apparent contradiction?

📖 Chapter 48

Chapter 48 presents this duality not as a contradiction but as a testament to Sai's divine nature and love. While he is praised with titles like "Eternal Supreme Brahman" and "witness of all," the text clarifies that he acts as one who is "subservient to his devotees" as part of a vow. This behavior is a deliberate act to "clearly show the multitude of devotees that he is the beloved of his devotees." His subservience is an expression of the pure love he has for those devoted to him. Chapter 48 further notes that this quality of being a benefactor who is full of love for those who seek refuge is so fundamental that it does not end even after he has left his physical body.
