If Sai Baba is an 'ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss,' why does Chapter 16 say he participates in rituals or dons a 'cloak of ignorance'?

Chapter 16 addresses this apparent paradox by explaining Sai Baba's compassionate methodology. While he is described as an 'ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss' who has no need for outward rituals, he still enjoys them when performed with sincere faith and satisfaction. This is to encourage the devotee's faith. Furthermore, the chapter states that he sometimes dons a 'cloak of ignorance' in order to 'impart knowledge to the ignorant.' By seemingly acting on a human level, he is able to provide 'sweet instruction' and uplift others without transgressing the normal boundaries of conduct, making his teachings accessible to all.
