What did Sai Baba say about his unique ways and the practice of meditation for achieving self-realization?

In Chapter 19, after hearing the narrator's account of Shama's story, Sai Baba offered deep wisdom. He began by stating, "Our ways are unique; keep this one thing in your heart, it will be very beneficial." He then connected this to the path of self-realization, explaining that true knowledge of the Soul requires meditation, or Dhyana. This meditation is the practice of the Self, which calms the mind. He instructed that one must become free from all desires and meditate on the one who resides in all beings. Through this practice, he assured that what is to be attained will be attained, revealing that his own form is pure knowledge.
