Describing Sai Baba as the 'complete Supreme Brahman' is a profound theological statement within Chapter 43. It means he is the ultimate, formless reality itself. From this perspective, the world is an 'illusion' and consciousness of a physical body is inconsequential. His incarnation was not a necessity of karma but a voluntary act undertaken with the 'sole desire for the welfare of devotees.' The text explains that because he is Brahman, he is 'devoid of bodily impulses.' Any physical ailments were the result of past karma of which he himself had 'no awareness,' as his true self remained untouched by the limitations and pains of the material body.
