In Chapter 19, after the narrator recounted the story, Sai Baba provided detailed guidance on meditation. He stated that meditation (Dhyana) is necessary for attaining true knowledge of the Soul. Baba advised that one should become free from all desires and meditate on the one divine principle that resides in all beings. If this formless meditation is too difficult, he offered an alternative: meditating on his physical form (Saguna) from head to toe. Baba explained that this practice would lead to a one-pointed mind, eventually causing the awareness of the meditator, the meditation, and the object of meditation to dissolve. This dissolution, he taught, leads to attaining the state of pure consciousness and oneness with Brahman.
