Chapter 20 presents a profound view of Sai Baba's nature. It states that Sai is "originally formless, but took form for the sake of his devotees." The text uses the metaphor of an actor, explaining that Baba accepted the role of the actress "Maya" and played his part perfectly. This suggests his physical manifestation was a deliberate act of grace for his followers. The chapter also describes him as a "Siddhashram" (abode of the perfected), clarifying that the mere sight of him relieves the fatigue of worldly life and his constant presence can drive away the delusion of existence, ultimately ending the cycle of rebirths for those who surrender to him.
