Using details from Chapter 1, explain how Sai Baba is portrayed as the embodiment of multiple deities, reflecting a non-dual perspective.

Chapter 1 of the Sai Satcharitra masterfully portrays Sai Baba's non-dual nature by identifying him with the various deities being invoked. It begins by stating, "This Sai himself is Ganesha Ganapati," the remover of obstacles. The text then extends this concept to the goddess of knowledge, asserting, "Sai himself is Goddess Saraswati...singing his own life story." After offering salutations to the Hindu trinity, the chapter makes a powerful declaration directly to Sai: "O self-effulgent Sainath, you alone are our Lord of Ganas (Ganadhish), the Lord of Savitri (Brahma), the Lord of Rama (Vishnu), or the Lord of Uma (Shiva)." This systematic identification with multiple divine forms underscores the teaching that Sai is the all-encompassing Sadguru, the one reality manifesting as many.
