Chapter 49 seems to talk about the limits of language. How does it explain the difficulty in describing the Sadguru?

📖 Chapter 49

Chapter 49 delves into the philosophical challenge of capturing the essence of a Sadguru like Sai Baba through words. The author begins by stating that silence is the "real praise of the Sadguru" because even the Vedas and Puranas grew weary of praising Him. The text mentions different stages of speech, noting that where transcendental speech (Para) returns and where Pashyanti and Madhyama (middle stages) do not speak, the spoken word (Vaikhari) is utterly powerless. As Chapter 49 explains, the author acknowledges his inability to comprehend the "inconceivable art of the Unfathomable" and that only by surrendering at the Sadguru's feet can one begin to grasp the true form.
