How does Chapter 10 contrast worldly logic with the divine reality of a Sadguru using the example of the sleeping plank?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 10

Chapter 10 directly confronts the limits of worldly logic when faced with divine power. It explicitly states that in the presence of pure service to a Sadguru, "there is no need for the struggle of logic, Mimamsa, or other intellectual acrobatics." This principle is powerfully illustrated with the story of the sleeping plank. From a logical standpoint, a narrow plank just one span wide and tied with rags could never support the weight of a man. However, Chapter 10 presents this paradox to show that Baba's reality operated on a different level. The explanation provided is not logical but spiritual: His great Siddhis (powers) made the physical impossibilities irrelevant, demonstrating that the Guru's actions transcend the laws of the physical world that bind ordinary human reasoning.
