According to Baba, what is the ultimate path to finding inner peace and understanding one's true self?

Sai Baba outlines a clear path to inner peace and self-realization in Chapter 19. He states that the true knowledge of the Soul is the ultimate goal, and the way to achieve this is through meditation (Dhyana), which he calls the practice of the Self that brings peace to the mind. He instructs that one must first become free from all desires and then focus the mind in meditation on the divine presence that resides in all beings. Whether one meditates on the formless aspect of God as pure consciousness or on the physical form of the Guru, the end result is the same: the mind becomes one-pointed, the illusion of separation dissolves, and one attains the state of pure consciousness.
