Among all the words spoken by saints, few are as immediately soothing as this: "Why fear when I am here?" In just seven words, Shirdi Sai Baba gives: • courage to the anxious • shelter to the suffering • strength to the helpless • peace to the restless heart This is not merely a devotional phrase. It is a spiritual revelation. Because Baba is not saying: "Nothing bad will happen." He is saying something deeper: Even if life shakes, you are not alone. Even if darkness comes, grace remains. Even if you cannot hold yourself… I will hold you. In a world filled with uncertainty, Sai Baba offers the ultimate refuge: • surrender instead of panic • trust instead of fear • remembrance instead of despair This article explores the meaning of Baba’s assurance, and how surrender becomes protection.
