As detailed in Chapter 14, humans are categorized into three types based on their inherent nature. The first are the 'gods,' who are humans characterized by self-control and noble qualities. The second are the 'demons,' who are humans defined by their violent, wicked, and cruel tendencies. The third are 'humans' gripped by difficult greed. Baba's method of asking for Dakshina directly addresses the fault of the third group. Described as an ocean of mercy, Sai Nath stretches out his hand to pull the greed-oriented person from their pit. Furthermore, his broader teaching on "Da"—encompassing self-control (Danta), mercy (Daya), and charity (Dana)—provides a simple remedy to destroy the three major faults of lust, anger, and greed, which are inauspicious for anyone's self-progress.
The text mentions three types of humans. Can you describe them and explain how Baba's methods address their specific faults?
