As detailed in Chapter 10, Sai Baba's sleeping arrangement was highly unusual and mysterious. He slept on a wooden plank that was merely four cubits long and one span (about nine inches) wide. This narrow plank was suspended from the rafters of the mosque, like a swing, tied at both ends with old rags. The significance of this, as the chapter points out, was to demonstrate His divine powers, or Siddhis. The text questions how such a flimsy setup could support Baba's weight and emphasizes that his movements—climbing up and down—were imperceptible to all, suggesting the plank was merely for "name's sake" and a display of His extraordinary capabilities.
