Based on the incident with the slanderer, what can we learn about Sai Baba's method of giving instruction?

📖 Chapter 19

Chapter 19 reveals that Sai Baba's method of instruction was timely, deeply personal, and often used powerful real-world situations. Being 'completely omniscient,' he knew of a devotee's slanderous behavior and waited for the perfect moment to provide a lesson. Instead of a direct verbal reprimand, he used the sight of a sow eating filth as a living parable, which 'pierced him to the core.' This shows that Baba instructs devotees 'in various ways according to the occasion,' aiming for the essence of the lesson to be 'stored in the heart' to ensure spiritual success.
