Chapter 49 presents a profound paradox concerning the praise of the Sadguru. It posits that maintaining silence is the real praise, as the Sadguru's greatness is inconceivable and beyond description. The text notes that where transcendental speech (Para) returns and other stages of speech (Pashyanti, Madhyama) do not open their mouths, the spoken word (Vaikhari) is powerless. Despite this understanding, the author explains in Chapter 49 that the blissful experience of Sai's leelas compels him to speak and write, comparing it to sharing a sweet delicacy so that the bliss may be doubled for all.
According to Chapter 49, what is the relationship between speech, silence, and the praise of the Sadguru?
