What were some of Sai Baba's different methods for teaching and interacting with his followers?

Sai Baba's methods of teaching were multifaceted and often beyond conventional understanding. Chapter 22 describes his varied conduct, noting that his firm silence could serve as a discourse on Brahman, while at other times he would be surrounded by devotees, like a cloud of consciousness and bliss. He communicated through various means: sometimes speaking with hidden meanings, sometimes joking with humor, and other times leaving ambiguity by walking away in anger. The scripture explains that he gave advice in many different ways—sometimes meaningful, sometimes prudent, and sometimes openly decisive—demonstrating his powerful and infallible nature.
