Based on Chapter 16, for what purpose has the Sadguru, who is beyond attributes, taken a physical form?

πŸ“– Chapter 16

The introductory verses of Chapter 16 offer a clear reason for the Sadguru's incarnation. After praising him as the "Stainless," "Imperishable," and "One beyond attributes (Gunatita)," the text explicitly states, "You have taken this body for the sake of helping others, to uplift the poor and lowly." This indicates that the Guru's primary motivation for assuming a physical form is compassion. The chapter also mentions that he dons the "cloak of ignorance" to impart knowledge to the ignorant, reinforcing the idea that his purpose is to guide and elevate humanity from a state of suffering and illusion.
