What was the nature of the advice Sai Baba gave to his followers during his daily sittings?

Sai Baba's guidance was primarily ethical in nature and delivered through storytelling during his three daily sittings. According to Chapter 0, he did not give open discourses on profound subjects like Vedanta or the Upanishads. His method was to first purify the disciple's ground with general ethical principles before planting the seed of deeper knowledge, a practice described as the Sadguru's scriptural way. The text emphasizes that while his verbal advice was valuable, the guidance devotees received from him in the form of direct experience was even more beneficial, ultimately leading them toward their highest welfare.
