If Knowledge (Jnana) is considered the greatest path, why did Baba recommend Devotion (Bhakti) for most people? What does this reveal about the accessibility of these spiritual paths?

As Chapter 19 clarifies, although Baba preached that Knowledge (Jnana) is the greatest of all paths, he consistently advised the path of Devotion (Bhakti) for the common people. This recommendation stems from the accessibility of the paths. Bhakti is likened to a Sitaphal (custard apple), which is described as an easy, juicy, and sweet path that is invaluable despite requiring little effort. In contrast, Jnana is like a Ramphal (bullock's heart fruit). While potentially superior in its sweetness, it requires great patience and expertise to ripen correctly. If mishandled, it becomes pungent. This reveals that Bhakti is a more forgiving and immediately rewarding path, making it more suitable for the majority of people who may not have the capacity for the rigorous discipline required for the path of Knowledge.
