Chapter 50 employs several poetic metaphors to illustrate Sai Baba's immense greatness but also highlights their limitations. For instance, the chapter initially compares Sai to the sun that "destroys the darkness of the world." However, it immediately points out the inadequacy of this comparison, noting that the sun sets, whereas Sai's light is eternal. Similarly, as Chapter 50 explains, comparing him to the moon is also considered unfit because the moon wanes, while "Sai is forever complete." The text concludes that the greatness of the "King of Gurus is unfathomable," and these comparisons ultimately serve to emphasize that Sai's nature as an embodiment of pure consciousness is beyond worldly parallels.
