Can you explain the strange way Sai Baba used to sleep as described in Chapter 10 and what it signified?

📖 Chapter 10

According to Chapter 10 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's sleeping arrangement was quite miraculous. He would sleep on a narrow wooden plank, just four cubits long and one span wide, which was suspended from the rafters by old rags, like a swing. The text highlights that his movements were imperceptible; no one ever saw when he climbed up onto this precarious plank or when he descended. This feat was not a matter of physical skill but a demonstration of his Great Siddhis (divine powers). The chapter suggests that the plank could not have supported a person's weight on its own and was merely there for name's sake, implying Baba's powers, such as the ability to become minute ('Anima'), allowed for these impossible actions.
