The description in Chapter 36 of Sai Baba having "no name or village" highlights a paradox central to his divine nature. Despite this lack of earthly identity, he possesses "infinite glory" and immense power. The text elaborates that he can "turn a beggar into a king in a moment with the play of his eyebrows" and that people "in the country and abroad worship him." This paradox emphasizes his transcendental nature; he is not bound by conventional limitations. He is described as being detached from ego, which allows him to be a pure instrument of divine will, causing events to occur while remaining detached. This lack of a worldly identity, as noted in Chapter 36, paradoxically enables his universal influence and inconceivable power.
