What kind of 'service' did Baba ask Hemadpant to perform after he retired? Was it administrative work for the Sansthan, similar to managing a business, or was it something else entirely?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 3

After Hemadpant's retirement in 1916, Sai Baba instructed him to perform His service. The texts in Chapter 3 do not specify this service as administrative or business-related work. Instead, Baba's subsequent discourse points towards a spiritual form of service. He instructed Hemadpant to perform worship with devotion and to understand the true nature of the Self. Baba clarified that His physical body is perishable, but the "Brahman is imperishable and worthy of worship." This suggests the "service" was a path of spiritual practice, meditation, and devotion rather than a conventional job, aimed at realizing the omnipresent Self.
