Chapter 16 describes the Sadguru as "donning the cloak of ignorance." What is the meaning and purpose of this paradoxical behavior?

The phrase "donning the cloak of ignorance" in Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra refers to the Sadguru's method of teaching. Although the Guru is an ocean of "Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss," he often behaves like an ordinary or even ignorant person to connect with and instruct the ignorant. As mentioned in this chapter, by appearing to be one of them, he imparts profound knowledge without overwhelming the seeker. This approach allows him to give "sweet instruction" while not transgressing the conventional boundaries of conduct, making his wisdom accessible and relatable to people at all levels of spiritual development. It is a compassionate technique to uplift the poor and lowly.
