Conclusion: Two Words That Lead to God
Sai Baba's genius was simplicity.
He gave the whole path in two words:
Shraddha. Saburi.
Faith that the Divine is real.
Patience that the Divine is wise.
If one holds these two, life becomes spiritual practice.
Not because problems vanish…
But because peace arises within them.
Sai Baba assures:
"My devotees will never be forsaken."
