Chapter 10 mentions Baba sleeping on a narrow plank. How is this feat explained, and what does it reveal about his abilities?

📖 Chapter 10

The incredible feat of sleeping on a narrow plank suspended by rags is explained in Chapter 10 as a manifestation of Baba's divine powers, or Siddhis. The text explicitly states that with "Great Siddhis residing within Him, the plank was merely for name’s sake," implying that the laws of physics were irrelevant to Him. The chapter further elaborates on this by referencing 'Anima,' the power to become minute, suggesting Baba could alter his form and move with the ease of flies, insects, or ants. This demonstrates that his movements were imperceptible and his ability to rest on the plank was not a physical act but a display of his complete mastery over the material world.
