How does Sai Baba impart teachings to his followers without conventional instruction?

Sai Baba's method of teaching is shown to be natural, spontaneous, and not bound by a specific time or place. As Chapter 19 states, 'while sitting, standing, or walking, all teaching happens naturally.' Instead of formal lectures, he uses life itself as the classroom. He engineers situations, like having a devotee sing a particular song at the precise moment it is needed to reinforce another's spiritual resolve. He allows a devotee's mind to be a mirror, reflecting his own state and providing direct proof of his guidance. Through these subtle and all-pervasive methods, Baba pulls the strings of inspiration and hands over 'a good practice accurately' without ever having to speak a word himself.
