Similar to his nature. His writing style is also very simple, lucid and easy to understand. Like a bom teacher, he explains complex spiritual, philosophical and yogic concepts step-by-step in simple words following a popular style of elaborate narration, full of anecdotes etc. which is akin to that usually adopted by Haridasi Kirtankar.
