How does Chapter 16 explain the paradoxical nature of Sai Baba being both beyond attributes and taking a physical form?

Chapter 16 beautifully explains this paradox by presenting Sai Baba as the "Imperishable" and "One beyond attributes" (Gunatita), who has nevertheless taken a physical body for a specific purpose. As the text states, He has taken this form "for the sake of helping others, to uplift the poor and lowly." Furthermore, it describes Him as an "ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss" who is beyond outward rituals, yet He participates and enjoys them when done with faith. This chapter reveals that He dons the "cloak of ignorance" to impart knowledge to the ignorant, skillfully operating within the world to guide devotees toward a state that is beyond the world.
