Chapter 10 addresses the seemingly impossible nature of Sai Baba's sleeping plank by attributing his ability to His divine powers, or Siddhis. The text questions how such a narrow plank, tied with mere rags, could support Baba's weight. It answers this by stating that the plank was "merely for name’s sake" because Great Siddhis resided within Him. The chapter specifically mentions 'Anima,' the power to become minute, suggesting that Baba could manipulate his form. It posits that just as the Master of 'Anima' can hide in a tiny particle, Baba could easily move in the forms of flies or insects, explaining why his movements onto and off the plank were imperceptible.
The sleeping plank mentioned in Chapter 10 seems physically impossible to use. How does the text explain Baba's ability to sleep on it?
