What are some of the key attributes and roles of Sai Baba as described in Chapter 49?

Chapter 49 portrays Sai Baba in several exalted ways. He is referred to as the "crest-jewel of all saints" and the ultimate "resting place for his own devotees." A key role attributed to Him is being the "remover of the difficult wanderings of worldly existence." The chapter identifies Him as the very essence of "welfare of welfare," whose own grace enables the telling of His stories to complete the book. For His followers, Sai is everything: their object of meditation, their form of worship, and their most precious treasure. His divine play, or Leela, is described as being inexpressible and unfathomable.
