Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra beautifully illustrates the incomprehensible and marvelous nature of Sai Baba. His state is described as unpredictable and profound. The text mentions that He was sometimes intoxicated with Brahmananda (the bliss of the Self) and at other times deeply satisfied with Self-knowledge. While He could appear completely devoid of activity, He was always alert and fixed on His own Self-realization. He performed all actions while remaining completely detached. The Satcharitra compares Him to the ocean—pleasant, yet deep and difficult to fathom. Ultimately, it concludes that those who try to understand the cause behind His every action become exhausted and can only sit in quiet amazement at His unfathomable form.
What is the nature of Sai Baba's state as described in the Satcharitra? It seems very complex.
