You claim Sai is supreme, but Chapter 50 compares him to the sun and moon. Aren't these just poetic compliments rather than proof of divinity?

Chapter 50 uses the comparisons to the sun and moon precisely to highlight their limitations when describing Sai. The text immediately points out the flaws in these analogies: 'It is not fit to compare him to the sun, for that sun sets. If I compare him to the moon, it wanes.' The purpose of this poetic device is to establish that Sai's nature transcends these powerful but imperfect natural phenomena. The passage concludes that 'Sai is forever complete,' positioning him beyond the cycles of rising and setting, or waxing and waning. As Chapter 50 explains, the true aim is to cultivate steady devotion, and hearing such stories with a faithful mind is a way to purify the heart and remove sin.
