Chapter 16 addresses this philosophical point by explaining the Sadguru's method of teaching. It acknowledges his supreme state as an "ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss" who has no need for outward rituals. However, it resolves the seeming paradox by stating that he "enjoys them with deep satisfaction" when they are done with sincere faith, using the devotee's own methods as a means of connection. Furthermore, the text explains that he purposely dons a "cloak of ignorance" in order to impart knowledge to the ignorant. This means he intentionally meets people at their level, providing "sweet instruction" within the boundaries of normal conduct, all for the ultimate purpose of uplifting them.
How does this chapter explain the apparent contradiction of an all-powerful Sadguru, who is an 'ocean of bliss', engaging with the world and its rituals?
