What eventually happened to the wooden plank that Maharaj used for sleeping, and why?

The wooden plank that Maharaj hung from the rafters became a source of great curiosity and distraction. As Chapter 0 explains, many people would gather to see Maharaj sleeping on the suspended plank, but no one ever witnessed him climbing up to or down from it. This spectacle started to attract large crowds of onlookers. Because so many people started gathering specifically to see this, Maharaj one day broke the plank, effectively putting an end to the phenomenon in order to remove this distraction.
