Shraddha
Faith
Not a theory. A turning of the heart toward the One who already sees you. If you look to him, he looks to you.
Shirdi Sai Baba
Why fear when I am here
A quiet place for his two coins: Shraddha — faith — and Saburi — patience. Sit a moment. The rest will come.
Saburi
Patience
The dignity of waiting without bitterness. Do the duty in front of you. Leave the fruit at his feet.
Today
A teaching for this day
All teachings“God is not only in the temple. He walks as the dog, the bird, the beggar, the child.”
Baba fed street dogs and spoke of them as companions. Kindness that stops at the human species is still a kind of caste. The one who can be gentle with the voiceless is already close to Dwarkamai.

The saint of Shirdi
One fire, two names for God
Sai Baba lived in a mosque, kept a sacred Hindu fire, and called every visitor a guest of God. He left the body in 1918. Devotees say he never left. His whole religion was this: feed the hungry, tell the truth, wait with a calm heart.
