What was Sai Baba's method for imparting spiritual lessons, and how was it different from formal instruction?

Sai Baba's method for imparting spiritual lessons was uniquely natural and unconventional, differing greatly from formal instruction. As Chapter 19 highlights, Baba did not require a specific time or a designated place for teaching; his wisdom flowed naturally while sitting, standing, or walking. Instead of giving lectures, he used real-life situations and the people around him as instruments for his lessons. For instance, he didn't verbally tell the author to chant Rama's name. Instead, he inspired another devotee to sing a song about Rama at the perfect moment, thereby providing a powerful and personal instruction without speaking a single word himself. This shows his all-pervasiveness and his ability to orchestrate events to deliver direct, experiential lessons tailored to each devotee's needs.
