What spiritual powers of Sai Baba are highlighted at the beginning of Chapter 40?

The opening of Chapter 40 praises Shri Sai Samarth for His profound spiritual abilities. It mentions that when Sai Baba places His hand upon a devotee's head, He performs *shaktipat*, which is the transmission of spiritual energy. This act is shown to have a transformative effect. Furthermore, the chapter highlights His power to destroy the sense of duality, dissolving the separate feelings of 'me' and 'you' for those who seek exclusive refuge in Him. According to Chapter 40, through these actions, Sai makes the unattainable attainable for His followers, guiding them in both worldly interests and supreme spiritual goals.
