How does Chapter 16 illustrate the paradoxical nature of Sai Baba's teaching methods?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 touches upon the paradoxical way the Sadguru interacts with the world to impart wisdom. It states that he is an 'ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss' and has no intrinsic need for 'outward rituals.' Yet, it paradoxically notes that 'when rituals are done with sincere faith, He enjoys them with deep satisfaction.' Furthermore, the text presents another paradox in his teaching style, explaining that he can don the 'cloak of ignorance' in order to impart knowledge to the ignorant. This method, as described in Chapter 16, allows him to give sweet instruction without transgressing the boundaries of conventional conduct, meeting people at their own level to gently guide them.
