How does Sai Baba guide a devotee who finds it difficult to meditate on the formless aspect of God?

Sai Baba offers very practical and compassionate guidance for those who struggle with abstract concepts. In Chapter 19, he first recommends meditating on his true, formless nature, which he equates with pure knowledge and bliss. However, he immediately provides an alternative for those who find this difficult. He advises them to instead practice Saguna meditation by focusing on his physical form. The instruction is to bring his image into the mind, contemplating it from head to toe, day and night. He assures that this method will also lead to a one-pointed mind and, ultimately, the dissolution of the ego into pure consciousness.
