According to Sai Baba's teachings, what are the means to attain Hari, and what is the consequence of not doing so?

The teachings described in Chapter 10 explain that the path to attaining Hari, or God, is multifaceted. The text lists yoga, sacrifice (Yagya), penance, and knowledge as means to reach Hari. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of avoiding argumentation and competition, and instead focusing on one's own welfare, with the faith that Shri Hari will provide protection. The consequence of failing to connect with God is severe; the text states that for one who is without Hari, their very birth is considered to be in vain, highlighting the central importance of this spiritual pursuit in His philosophy.
