The text mentions Baba's advice was 'ethical' rather than philosophical. Can you explain what that means based on the provided passages? Did he just give simple moral lessons?

📖 Chapter 0

The passages from Chapter 0 clarify that Maharaj did not typically give discourses on profound Vedanta subjects. His advice was described as 'primarily ethical.' The stated purpose of this approach was to purify the disciple's ground before sowing the seed of knowledge, which is presented as a traditional Sadguru practice. An example of this ethic in action is his own behavior: he washed himself gently for fear of harming living beings and showed no disgust towards Bhagoji Shinde, who had leprosy. Therefore, his ethical guidance was not just verbal but also demonstrated through his personal conduct, with the text emphasizing that the experiential advice was often more valuable.
