Chapter 10 directly confronts the apparent physical impossibility of Sai Baba's sleeping situation. The text poses the question of how such a flimsy plank, tied with mere rags, could support his weight. The explanation provided is purely spiritual, stating that the feat was possible because of the 'Great Siddhis' (divine powers) residing within him. The chapter clarifies that the plank was 'merely for name’s sake,' implying that his powers, not the plank, supported him. It uses the analogy of the Master of 'Anima' (the power to become minute) to illustrate how Baba's divine capabilities operated beyond the constraints of the physical world.
How does the narrative in Chapter 10 reconcile the physical impossibility of Baba sleeping on a narrow plank suspended by rags?
