Chapter 50 describes Sai Baba as purely an embodiment of consciousness, where the Unmanifest has taken form for the benefit of devotees. The text attempts to describe his greatness but concludes that words fail. The author considers comparing Sai to the sun, but rejects this because the sun eventually sets. Similarly, a comparison to the moon is deemed unfit because the moon wanes and has phases. In contrast, as Chapter 50 states, 'Sai is forever complete.' This illustrates that Sai's nature is eternal, constant, and beyond the transient qualities of even the most powerful objects in the natural world.
