According to Chapter 24 of the Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba had an extraordinary and unique method of teaching through humor and jokes. His humor was not merely for entertainment; it was a powerful tool used to impress the essence of truth upon his devotees in a way that was beneficial for their spiritual and worldly welfare. What made it so special was that people deeply craved his humor, eagerly awaiting their turn to be the subject of it. The chapter describes his jokes as effortless, novel, and natural, and when combined with his smiling face, playful eyes, and gestures, their sweetness and impact became indescribable, allowing the intended purpose to be immediately achieved.
