According to Chapter 24, Sai Baba's method of teaching was extraordinary because he would impress the essence of truth even through a simple joke. Unlike ordinary humor, which people might not appreciate when directed at them, Baba's humor was greatly loved and craved by his devotees. They would eagerly await their turn to be the subject of his jokes. This was because his humor was effortless, natural, and delivered with a smiling face and playful eyes. As the chapter describes, when combined with his gestures and acting, the intended spiritual purpose was immediately achieved, making the experience indescribably sweet for the recipient.
