This fascinating phrase from Chapter 16 reveals a key aspect of Sai Baba's teaching methodology. It implies that despite being an ocean of 'Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss,' he would sometimes act as if he were ignorant or ordinary to connect with people. By 'donning the cloak of ignorance,' he could meet seekers at their own level, making his profound wisdom accessible. This approach, as described in the chapter, allowed him to impart 'sweet instruction' without overwhelming the devotee or transgressing the normal boundaries of human conduct, thereby effectively imparting knowledge to the ignorant.
