How did Maharaj guide his followers, especially those who came to him with worldly desires?

Maharaj employed a subtle and compassionate method for spiritual guidance. As explained in Chapter 0, he recognized that a very large proportion of devotees who came to him had worldly desires, known as 'Sakam'. His approach was not to dismiss these desires but to first satisfy them. After fulfilling their worldly wishes, he would then seamlessly turn their minds toward their ultimate spiritual welfare. While his verbal advice was primarily ethical, the text emphasizes that the advice received from him in the form of direct experience was infinitely more valuable and brought the highest benefit to those who approached him with faith.
