A Closer Look: Selected Teachings and Episodes
1. Ego and Instrumentality:
Hemadpant once boasted of a small act of charity. Baba gently corrected him: "When you have given it before, you do not get it now." The lesson — surrender the ego, for the Divine alone acts through us.
2. Faith and Patience:
"Shraddha and Saburi" are the twin virtues that sustain every devotee's journey. Baba taught that faith brings one to the door of realization, and patience keeps one there until the door opens.
3. Service as Worship:
For Baba, helping others was true devotion. He said, "See the Divine in all living beings."
4. Beyond Religion:
Baba emphasized that God is one, though worshipped in many forms. His life exemplified religious harmony — he celebrated Rama Navami and Urs alike.
5. Miraculous yet Practical:
Sai Satcharitra beautifully balances miracle stories with moral lessons — revealing Baba as both divine and deeply humane.
6. Eternal Presence:
Even after his Mahasamadhi, countless devotees experience Baba's guidance in dreams, intuition, and life events — affirming his words, "My tomb will speak, and move, and communicate."
