Sai Baba's method of bestowing grace and instruction is not uniform; it is wonderfully adapted to each devotee's specific needs and disposition. As detailed in Chapter 27, Baba's approach is like that of a skilled doctor who understands the patient's condition and the right medicine. Sometimes, if a devotee insists on something sweet but potentially harmful, like a patient demanding jaggery, Baba might use a clever trick. He provides the "jaggery" first to make the "medicine" of his teaching more palatable, effectively changing the medium to achieve his purpose without force. The path of instruction is determined by the recipient's capacity, mental disposition, service, and love, ensuring the grace granted makes them happy and prosperous.
How does Sai Baba tailor his teachings and blessings to individual devotees?
