While it is true that Baba, being the foundation of all, had no intrinsic need for a seat or other comforts, he accepted them for the sake of his devotees' feelings. Chapter 11 clarifies that his original seat was just a piece of sackcloth, but the faithful would place a beautiful cushion on it. A silver throne was provided, and he accepted it, just as he accepted a bolster placed for his back. This demonstrates a key aspect of his character: 'As was the heart's desire of the devotees, so did Baba behave,' showing that he prioritized their devotional sentiments over his own needs.
If Baba is described as the 'foundation of everyone,' why did he have a silver throne and accept physical comforts from devotees?
