According to Chapter 11, what specific methods did Sai Baba employ to guide his devotees from attachment to his physical form towards an understanding of the formless (Nirguna)?

📖 Chapter 11

Chapter 11 details several specific means Sai Baba used to help devotees realize the Nirguna, or formless reality. According to the text, he would create circumstances tailored to their spiritual eligibility. These methods included sending a devotee to another country, confining another to solitude in Shirdi, locking one in the Wada (lodging), or assigning them the task of reading scriptures. The purpose of these practices, which could last for years, was to cultivate a deep longing for the Nirguna. This ensured that whether sitting, sleeping, or eating, the devotee's mind would constantly be occupied with Baba’s company, leading them to understand the eternal beyond the perishable physical body.
