The scriptures say Baba's ways were clever and secretive. What is the key to understanding Sai Baba's teachings and methods?

Chapter 23 explains that understanding Sai Baba's clever tactics and methods is not a matter of intellect or argument. The text states that the treasury of Sai's wisdom is not understood by the argumentative or the complicated. Instead, the secret is revealed through true devotion, and only the simple and loving can truly enjoy it. As Chapter 23 reveals, those who listen to the Sai-charitra attentively, with a focused mind and respect for the Guru, will experience a surge of love and lose their worldly consciousness. Therefore, the key to understanding Baba is not intellectual analysis but a heart full of simple, loving devotion.
