The beginning of Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra opens with salutations to Sai Baba, describing him as the "Great Giver," the "embodiment of Brahman," and a "Wish-fulfilling Tree (Kalpataru)" for his devotees. As referenced in the text, the chapter promises to narrate two main things for the benefit of the listeners: a description of Sai's essential nature, specifically whether his mind was "intense or soft," and a detailed account of Baba's departure from his physical body. The chapter emphasizes that by hearing these stories, great holiness will be attained and the distress of worldly existence can be removed.
