Chapter 10 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides a fascinating description of Sai Baba's sleeping habits. He slept on a wooden plank that was merely four cubits long and one span, or about nine inches, wide. This plank was suspended from the rafters like a swing, tied at both ends with old rags. The text highlights the miraculous nature of this, questioning how such a flimsy setup could support Baba's weight. As Chapter 10 suggests, the plank was merely for show, as Baba possessed Great Siddhis (powers). He would have lamps burning at his head and feet while he rested on this precarious bed.
Can you describe the sleeping arrangements of Sai Baba as detailed in Chapter 10? It seems unbelievable that he slept on a narrow plank.
