Sai Baba’s Assurance in the Sai Satcharitra

The Sai Satcharitra is filled with stories where Baba protects devotees—not always by removing difficulty, but by transforming its meaning. Story 1: Baba Saves the Devotee From Cholera During epidemics in Shirdi, devotees panicked. Baba remained calm. His presence itself became protection. People realized: Faith is stronger than fear. Baba’s grace works invisibly. Story 2: The Burning Lamp of Confidence A devotee once worried: "What if Baba leaves me?" Baba replied: "I never leave anyone who remembers Me." Protection is remembrance. Story 3: The Child and the Saint Just as a child feels fearless holding the mother’s hand… The devotee becomes fearless holding Baba in the heart. Sai Baba’s promise is relational: Stay with Me inwardly, and fear dissolves.
