When Baba explains his true form in Chapter 3, he mentions being the 'eightfold nature' or 'Ashtadha-prakriti'. Can you list and describe these eight components as Baba detailed them to the author?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 3

In the account from Chapter 3, Sai Baba does indeed state that his true, imperishable form is the all-pervading eightfold nature, or Ashtadha-prakriti, referencing the Lord's discourse to Arjuna in the Gita. However, the provided text does not proceed to list or describe what these eight specific components are. Baba's message focused on the broader concept that He is present in all of creation, in every object with name and form. The purpose of this teaching was for the devotee to realize this omnipresence, which helps dissolve the egoic sense of 'I' and 'mine' and ultimately frees one from worldly desires.
