The texts mention that trying to understand Sai Baba's ways can lead to misfortune. How should one approach him to build a connection and become part of his following?

The texts advise against trying to intellectually analyze or scrutinize Sai Baba's methods. Chapter 35 explicitly states that trying to know his ways could lead to misfortune. Instead, the recommended approach is one of humility and surrender. The scripture suggests that by 'becoming egoless and rolling at his feet, you will enjoy the festival of happiness.' This is exemplified by the story of Boss Dharamsee, whose initial 'clinical scrutiny' and internal judgment created a problem for him. It was only when he obeyed Baba's command to eat the grapes, surrendering his own preference and doubt, that he experienced the miracle and his heart was transformed, leading to love and devotion for Sai.
