As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XXII Page 115, 116

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Now (for a moment), let us turn, to Baba's life.  Shirdi had become a place of pilgrimage, on account of Baba's stay there.  People from all quarters began to flock there, and both the rich and the poor began to be benefited in more ways than one, and in some form or another.

Hemadpant suggests an easy way of devotion and meditation as follows :-

As the dark fortnight of every month wears out gradually, the moonlight also wanes in the same degree and on the new moon day, we do not see the moon at all, nor do we get her light.  Therefore, when the bright fortnight begins, people are very anxious to see the moon.  On the first day, the moon is not seen and on the second day also she is not clearly visible.  Then the people are asked to see the moon through an opening between the two branches of a tree, and when they begin to see through this aperture eagerly and after concentrating on (range of knowledge), the distant small crescent of the moon comes, to their great delight, within their ken  Following the clue, let us try to see Baba's Light.  Look at Baba's posture, how fine It is!  He is sitting with His legs folded, the right leg held across the left knee, The fingers of His left hand are spread on the right-foot.  On the right toe are spread His two fingers-the index and middle ones.  By this posture Baba means to say, as it were-if you want to see My Light, be egoless and most humble and meditate on My toe through the opening between the two branches-index and middle fingers-and then you will be able to see My Light.  This is the easiest means of attaining devotion.

They know no other method of attaining the supreme goal of life, except meditating on the Holy Feet.

How to meditate on Baba?  No one has been able to fathom the nature or the form of Almighty.  Even the Vedas and the thousand tongued Shesha are not able to describe it fully; but the devotees cannot but know and look at the form of the Lord, for they know that His Feet are the only means of their happiness.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Baba's words were always short, pithy, deep, full of meaning efficient and well-balanced.  He was ever content and never cared for anything.

He told them to leave of all cleverness and always remember "Sai" "Sai".  If you did that He said, all your shackles would be removed and you would be free.  Sitting between five fires, sacrifices, chantings, eight-fold Yoga are possible for the Brahmins only, they are of no use to the other classes.

Though Sai Baba acted outwardly like an ordinary man, His action showed extraordinary intelligence and skill.  Whatever He did, was done for the good of His devotees.  He never prescribed any Asan, regulation of breathing or any rites to His Bhaktas, nor did He blow any mantra into their ears.
