I've just finished my MSc in chemistry and feel completely lost about my career. How can Sai Baba's teachings offer any practical guidance for someone in my situation?

Sai Baba's approach was not to give direct, prescriptive advice on matters like a career but to address the inner state of his devotees. As detailed in Chapter 0, his advice was primarily ethical, as he believed in purifying the disciple's ground before sowing the seed of knowledge. He characteristically satisfied the worldly desires of his followers and then seamlessly turned their minds toward ultimate welfare. This suggests that by focusing on ethical living and purifying your intentions, you may find that clarity on practical matters like your career path naturally follows.
