The text mentions that the Guru's method of instruction is wonderful and varies. How is this concept illustrated using the analogy of a doctor and patient?

πŸ“– Chapter 27

Chapter 27 explains that the Guru's manner of initiation and instruction is wonderful and tailored to the recipient's capacity. To illustrate this, the text uses the analogy of a doctor and a patient. The doctor understands the diagnosis and the appropriate medicine, but the patient, not knowing what's best, might insist on something sweet but harmful, like jaggery. The patient might refuse to take the necessary but bitter medicine unless the sweet jaggery is offered first. Similarly, a Sadguru like Sai understands the spiritual needs of each devotee and provides instruction in a unique way to guide them effectively on their path.
