How does Sai Baba guide devotees from worldly concerns to spiritual growth?

Sai Baba guides his devotees from worldly involvement to the path of renunciation by telling stories that address both worldly and spiritual life. Chapter 14 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that while telling these stories, Baba skillfully leads people towards a more spiritual path. His life stories are described not just as biographies but as the 'very life of self-bliss.' The purpose is to help individuals live happily in the world but also remain spiritually alert, thereby making their lives meaningful and fulfilling a higher purpose.
