Based on Chapter 10, describe the paradox of Sai Baba's simple lifestyle versus his divine powers.

📖 Chapter 10

Chapter 10 presents a striking contrast between Sai Baba's outwardly simple lifestyle and his profound divine powers. On one hand, he slept on a crude wooden plank, just four cubits long and a span wide, suspended by mere rags. This suggests austerity. However, the chapter immediately juxtaposes this with the fact that his ability to get on and off this plank was imperceptible, a feat attributed to his "Great Siddhis." As Chapter 10 explains, the plank was merely for "name's sake" because his true support was his inner power, such as 'Anima' (the ability to become minute). This paradox shows that Baba's life was a lesson, demonstrating that immense spiritual power can exist within the simplest of forms.
