How did Sai Baba's teaching methods vary, and what can we learn from his diverse approach?

Chapter 22 illustrates that Sai Baba's teaching style was incredibly varied and often tailored to the situation. His conduct was described as being beyond the grasp of mind and intellect. For instance, sometimes his firm silence was itself a profound discourse on Brahman, while at other times he was a joyful "cloud of consciousness and bliss" among his devotees. The text mentions he would speak with hidden meanings, use humor, or even feign anger. This teaches us that spiritual guidance isn't a rigid formula. As Chapter 22 notes, Baba gave advice in many different ways—meaningful, prudent, or decisive—always aiming for the ultimate welfare of the devotee through his incomprehensible yet infallible deeds.
