What was Maharaj's primary method for giving advice, and why did he focus on ethical principles rather than complex philosophy?

Maharaj's approach to teaching was primarily ethical, focusing on purifying the disciple's ground before imparting deeper knowledge. As mentioned in Chapter 0, he did not openly lecture on profound Vedanta subjects or the Upanishads. Instead, during his three daily sittings, he would give advice through stories that addressed the various matters going on in the minds of those present. This method of providing ethical guidance was part of the Sadguru's scriptural practice to prepare the devotee. He satisfied their worldly desires first and then seamlessly turned their minds toward their ultimate welfare and salvation.
