Part of the responsibility of metaphysical power is to own the power but not to wield the power. The Sage wants to remain unknown. He doesnt need idiots worshiping him. He or She understands that as a member of this physical plane part of their job is to be apart of the physical world.
Teleporting and bi locating involve moving the physical body instantly to another location. In truth the sage pulls the other location to where he is.
The Sage has their own agenda. This can get messed up if others of the physical plane understand that he or she is the Sage.
I believe in astral travel so in some matter that could be considered levitation, because you could hover above were ever you wanted.
Levitation as a trick is a game of the ego.
The Sage does not play games.
interesting perspective for sure! i liked reading your post... two thoughts/questions...

one... do you assume that all sages opperate with the SAME principles you view of sages??? there is no deviant whatsoever to the "Sage Agenda?" that would be pretty amazing if it were the case... are sage's a part of the human race (organic beings) or it sounds like you are describing a spiritual entity incarnating to our physical existence?

second... bi-location (from the definition) has nothing to do with quickly moving from one location to another (like transportation would from one physical place to another physical place or translation from one plane of existence or time to another)... but actually refers to simultaneously being present in two different physical locations at the same instant.
