What was the nature of the advice Maharaj gave to his followers?

As detailed in Chapter 0, Maharaj's advice was not typically complex or philosophical, as he did not openly explain profound Vedanta subjects or give discourses on the Upanishads. Instead, his guidance was primarily ethical in nature. This approach was intentional, following the Sadguru's scriptural practice of first purifying the disciple's ground before sowing the seed of deeper knowledge. The text also notes that while this verbal advice was important, the advice devotees received from Maharaj in the form of direct experience was considered infinitely more valuable and beneficial.
