The beginning of Chapter 11 of the Sai Satcharitra sets a clear agenda for the reader. It promises to deliver a sweet and pleasant story that will facilitate meditation on Sai Baba's manifest (Saguna) form, comparing this act to the chanting of the Eleven Rudras. The chapter introduces major themes, including Baba's inscrutable 'leelas' like sleeping on a narrow plank, his equal treatment of Hindus and Muslims, and his supreme authority over the five elements. It explicitly states it will show how Indra, Agni, and Varuna obey Baba's words, thereby establishing the greatness and divine power of the Guru.
