The author mentions the inadequacy of speech to describe Sai. How does Chapter 49 elaborate on this concept of inexpressibility?

📖 Chapter 49

Chapter 49 profoundly explores the difficulty of articulating the Guru's greatness. The author states that Sai's 'Leela is inexpressible' and questions how he can comprehend the 'inconceivable art of the Unfathomable.' To illustrate this limitation, the text refers to the different stages of speech in Indian philosophy. It mentions that the 'Para' (transcendental) speech returns from where Sai's greatness begins, and even the 'Pashyanti' and 'Madhyama' (middle stages) cannot approach it. This leaves the fourth stage, 'Vaikhari' (the spoken word), utterly powerless, emphasizing that the Sadguru's true nature exists beyond the grasp of human language and intellect.
