How did Nanasaheb Dengle's relationship with Maharaj lead to the story of the sleeping plank?

Nanasaheb Dengle's connection to the story of the plank began with a personal miracle. Chapter 0 explains that he was initially sent to Maharaj because he was without a son. After Maharaj blessed him and a son was born, Nanasaheb's faith grew immensely, and he became a frequent visitor. It was out of this deep devotion and concern for Maharaj's well-being that he provided the wooden plank, hoping to offer a better sleeping surface. This act of devotion inadvertently led to one of Maharaj's most famous miracles, as he used the plank in a way that demonstrated his divine power, suspending it from the rafters with old rags.
