The text says Sai Baba has 'no name or village.' How can this be true if everyone calls him Sai Baba and he lived in Shirdi?

The provided excerpts from Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describe Sai Baba in profound, spiritual terms. The statement that he "has no name or village" is used to emphasize his transcendental nature and detachment from worldly identity. As Chapter 36 explains, he is the "incarnation of the knowledge of Truth" who stays "distant and detached from his name." While he is known as Sai Baba of Shirdi historically, the text uses this phrasing to highlight that his true essence is beyond such earthly labels and origins, pointing to his infinite and universal glory.
