The texts in Chapter 1 portray the Sadguru as a being who transcends ordinary understanding. He is described as dwelling beyond 'Maya', a realm where even the Vedas fall silent and clever logic fails. He is the original formless one, the pure Brahman-consciousness, who takes on a form for the welfare of his devotees. The source explains that in the state of pure Brahman, there is no duality like Purusha and Prakriti, just as where the sun dwells, there can be no day or night. Therefore, as Chapter 1 articulates, Sai is this formless, quality-less principle who has taken a form of pure qualities, making him fundamentally beyond the dualities we perceive in the world.
