Chapter 27 reveals that Sai's method of instruction and granting grace is wonderfully unique and tailored to each individual. The text states that the manner of initiation is full of humor, often happening through laughter and play. It explicitly says there are many ways of instruction, and the path shown depends entirely on the recipient's capacity. This is compared to a doctor who understands the specific diagnosis and the correct medicine for a patient. The patient may desire something sweet but harmful, like jaggery, but the doctor knows what is truly needed for healing. Similarly, Sai provides the true and beneficial path to those who surrender, granting grace in the way that is most appropriate for their spiritual progress.
How does Sai Baba impart guidance and grace? Is it a one-size-fits-all approach?
