The text states that Baba used countless means tailored to each devotee's eligibility. These included sending a devotee to another country, confining someone to solitude in Shirdi, locking a person in the Wada, or assigning them the task of reading scriptures. According to the chapter, practicing these disciplines over many years was intended to cultivate a deep and constant longing for the Nirguna, ensuring their minds were always occupied with Baba's eternal essence.
