Chapter 49 portrays Sai Baba as the "crest-jewel of all saints" and the ultimate refuge for devotees, but emphasizes that His true nature is beyond human comprehension. His Leela is called "inexpressible" and his art "inconceivable." The chapter delves into the limitations of language by referencing the four stages of speech, stating that where the highest, transcendental speech (Para) returns, the subsequent stages of Pashyanti, Madhyama, and the spoken word (Vaikhari) are completely powerless. This illustrates that Sai's greatness is so profound that no form of speech can describe it, and true understanding can only be approached through surrender at the Guru's feet.
