The provided text in Chapter 0 attributes these actions and phrases to the Maharaj who would become known as Sai Baba, not to Gajanan Maharaj, who is not mentioned. It was Sai Baba who demonstrated humility by calling himself a 'banda,' or servant of God. He never proclaimed 'Anal Haq' (I am God), but frequently uttered 'Yaade Haq,' meaning 'I remember/meditate on God.' This practice, as described in the chapter, showed that he never took greatness for himself and consistently positioned himself as a devotee of God, often giving blessings by saying 'Allah bhala karega' (God will do good).
Why did Gajanan Maharaj refer to himself as a 'banda' and utter 'Yaade Haq' instead of 'Anal Haq'?
