In Chapter 3, after advising the author to take up His service, Sai Baba gave clear instructions on both conduct and worship. He warned against associating with those who have 'abandoned religious conduct,' urging the author to move aside when they approach. Conversely, He taught universal compassion, saying one should not shoo away any creature, as everything comes to Him for a reason. Regarding worship, Baba explained that it is not about His physical body, which is perishable. True worship, or service, is to recognize Him as the imperishable Brahman, the 'eightfold nature' that pervades the entire universe. This realization of His omnipresence is the path to finding the 'eternal treasure.'
What specific guidance did Sai Baba provide about social conduct and the method of worship when He instructed the author to perform 'His service'?
