My friend is struggling in life. How would Baba guide someone to deal with worldly affairs and what kind of disciplines did he prescribe?

Sai Baba provided a wide array of spiritual paths, including practical guidance for worldly affairs. As noted in Chapter 19, his instructions were not limited to reclusive practices; for some, "he sets a discipline of conduct that is appropriate for worldly affairs." A key principle he taught was the importance of not taking free labor, ensuring fairness in all transactions. He also advised some devotees on meditation and others on scriptural study. The core message was that if one maintained determination in their conduct according to his words, their worldly affairs would go smoothly. His methods were diverse, ranging from direct advice and dream-instructions to giving knowledge and detachment, always tailored to the individual.
