It's said Baba gave advice through stories, but how is that a practical way to solve real-world problems like career confusion? Was his advice more than just simple fables?

While Baba's advice was often delivered through stories during his daily sittings, it was highly personalized and insightful. Chapter 0 notes that in his talks, 'explanations were given regarding various matters that were going on in the minds of the various people present there.' This suggests the stories were not random but were targeted to address the unspoken concerns and inner turmoil of his listeners. The text also posits that the advice received from Maharaj in the form of direct experience was infinitely more valuable than the verbal advice. His method was to purify the individual with ethical principles, which would in turn provide clarity on any issue.
