What does Chapter 49 reveal about Sai Baba's role for his followers?

Chapter 49 portrays Sai Baba as the absolute spiritual center for his devotees. He is described as the "crest-jewel of all saints" and the "resting place for his own devotees." For them, Sai is the ultimate remover of the difficult wanderings of worldly existence. The chapter emphasizes that "Sai alone is the object of meditation for His devotees; Sai alone is their worship of deities." He is also their "secret treasure," to be protected. This signifies that for a follower, all spiritual paths, meditations, and forms of worship converge and find their fulfillment in Sadguru Sai alone.
