Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra clarifies that Sai Baba's power to "turn a beggar into a king in a moment with the play of his eyebrows" is a demonstration of his infinite glory and divine power, not an indication of political involvement. The text describes him as a "complete supporter of spiritual goals, having renounced worldly life." This suggests the phrase is metaphorical, highlighting his ability to bestow immense grace and transform a person's spiritual and material fortune, rather than literally enthroning beggars.
Why did Sai Baba, who was a renunciate, get involved in politics by making beggars into kings?
