Chapter 11 tackles the complex concept of Baba being simultaneously with and without form. It states, 'Though appearing to have a body, he is formless and changeless,' and calls him 'The most manifest of the manifest, the most formless of the formless.' This suggests that while his 'indescribable power incarnated on earth in visible form' for devotees to experience in Shirdi, his true nature was not limited by it. His omnipresence, which he daily demonstrated to devotees, confirmed that while his residence appeared to be in Shirdi, he was not confined to that physical space, embodying a changeless, all-pervading consciousness.
How does the text explain the paradox of Sai Baba being both with form and formless?
