The text mentions that Baba dons a 'cloak of ignorance' to teach. Can you explain this concept based on Chapter 16?

πŸ“– Chapter 16

The phrase "donning the cloak of ignorance," found in Chapter 16, refers to Sai Baba's unique teaching method. Despite being the all-knowing Sadguru, an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss, He would often feign ignorance or act as an ordinary person. The purpose of this, as the chapter explains, was to impart knowledge to the ignorant and provide "sweet instruction" without making them feel intimidated or breaking the conventional norms of conduct. By appearing to be on their level, He could gently guide devotees, uplift the poor and lowly, and fulfill His purpose of taking a human body for the sake of helping others, making his profound wisdom accessible to all.
