What specific characteristics and divine plays of Sai Baba are mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 11?

The start of Chapter 11 introduces key aspects of Sai Baba's nature and actions. It references one of his inscrutable leelas (divine plays): his practice of sleeping on a narrow wooden plank and his invisible methods of getting on and off it. This highlights his mysterious and divine capabilities. Furthermore, the chapter immediately establishes his principle of equality, stating that he treated both Hindus and Muslims as equals. This impartial treatment was so profound that the act of evaluating their life spans in Shirdi was considered a form of worship in itself, setting a tone of universal love and spiritual unity for the teachings that follow.
