What divine qualities of Shri Sai are highlighted in the opening verses of Chapter 47?

The opening of Chapter 47 describes Shri Sai's divine qualities with poetic reverence. His face is called the "abode of supreme bliss," and it is said that even a momentary glance at it can destroy the sorrows of infinite births. His merciful glance is powerful enough to immediately liberate devotees from the bonds of Karma. The text uses a powerful metaphor, comparing Sai's grace to the sun, in whose light the firefly of worldly existence loses its luster. In a striking comparison, the chapter states that even the holy River Ganges, which purifies the world, desires the dust from the feet of saints like Sai to wash away her own accumulated impurities.
