What are the key themes introduced at the very beginning of Chapter 11?

📖 Chapter 11

The beginning of Chapter 11 of the Sai Satcharitra sets the stage by outlining its main topics after the initial salutations. It immediately references Sai Baba's 'inscrutable leelas' (divine plays), such as his practice of sleeping on a narrow wooden plank. The introduction then explicitly states that the chapter will describe Baba's greatness, particularly his control over the elements of nature. Another central theme introduced is the importance of devotion to a Saguna, or manifest, Guru. The text also briefly notes that Baba treated both Hindus and Muslims as equals. It promises that reading this sweet story is like chanting the Eleven Rudras and will facilitate meditation on the Guru's manifest form.
