Chapter 11 itself outlines its primary themes and the spiritual benefits for the reader. The main purpose is to describe the greatness of Sai Baba, his inscrutable divine plays (leelas), and his authority over the elements of nature. A central theme, as detailed in Chapter 11, is the importance of devotion to a Saguna (manifest) Guru. The chapter states that reading it facilitates meditation on the manifest form, which is likened to the powerful chanting of the Eleven Rudras. This devotional act is said to help the "bud of the mind" to open, leading to spiritual awakening. The author also notes that this chapter is offered as a "sweet and pleasant story" at Sai's feet.
