From the perspective of Chapter 19, how does the author justify the seemingly paradoxical act of trying to describe the formless Supreme Reality?

📖 Chapter 19

In Chapter 19, the author expresses a heartfelt desire to give a form, color, and shape to the Supreme Reality, Sai, who is described as being subtler than the subtlest and greater than the greatest. The author acknowledges this act might seem inappropriate. To justify it, the text draws parallels with devotional practices, such as offering ocean water back to the ocean or offering a jaggery snack to a Ganesha idol made of the same substance. The core message presented in Chapter 19 is that the divine entity values the devotee's faith above the logic of the act, its goal being to honor the devotee's pure intention.
