Can you describe the peculiar way Maharaj used to sleep in the Masjid and why he eventually stopped?

Maharaj had a unique sleeping arrangement in the Masjid. He would sleep on a wooden plank that was hung from the rafters using old rags. According to Chapter 0, these rags appeared too weak to even support the plank, let alone Maharaj's body, but they held firm due to his divine power. While he slept, he would place four lit lamps at the four corners of the plank. This sight drew crowds, but no one ever saw him climbing onto or getting down from the plank. Because so many people started gathering just to watch this, creating a distraction, Maharaj one day broke the plank and put an end to the spectacle.
