Describing Sai Baba as the 'complete Supreme Brahman' in Chapter 43 signifies that his true nature is beyond physical limitations and the cycle of birth and death. This status implies that for him, the material world is an illusion and he lacks the consciousness of the body that ordinary beings possess, making concepts like physical or mental illness irrelevant. According to the text, his appearance in a physical form in Shirdi was a manifestation undertaken "for the sake of the devotees’ protection," prompted by their collective merit. His life on earth is framed not as a normal human existence but as a "spontaneous play of Yoga for the sake of the devotees' salvation."
