How did Sai Baba's own actions serve as an example for how to live a good life?

Sai Baba's life was a direct demonstration of his core teachings. Chapter 17 highlights that he personally practiced the principle that 'Good words should be spoken repeatedly; one should do good to others.' He didn't just preach this; he acted accordingly, setting a powerful example. His constant advice was to be joyful and not worry, a state he himself embodied because he understood the cause and effect of all things. As Chapter 17 explains, observing the conduct of such an enlightened being provides a direct path for others to find their own salvation, showing how countless souls can be saved by following the path he laid out.
