Style of Teaching

Aum Sairam

As for Sri Sai Baba's style of teaching, He did not deliver lectures
and rarely gave formal teachings. He has never written anything by way
of wordy philosophy. Rather, He taught orally by parable, direct
experience and the example of His own life. He assures all that each
could experience. His Devine Love and blessings flew directly and not
through any intermediary. All would experience fulfillment of their
worldly desires and also perfect satisfaction of their craving for self
realization [Aatma Bodha]. There is no exception to this experience.

Sri Sai Baba's way is to cater directly to the needs of each
individual and He did not require His devotees to take up any rituals
or conventionally prescribed practice, nor did He favored any
particular path over another. Sri Sai Baba generally discouraged people
from changing their chosen form of worship in God and never advised
total detachment from worldly life and changeover of preference for a
particular deity as God. He advised perfect loyalty in and faith in the
power and blessings of the Almighty [Allah Malik] and patience for the
results of action (Karma). As a result of Sri Sai Baba's grace,
devotees experience self-generated conviction and faith that whatever
their desires and aspirations are, they will never go unnoticed by Sri
Sai Baba and they would not return empty-handed from Sri Sai's Court [Darbar].
