Credits- Sai Satcharitra Grandam

Baba's words that are quoted in Satcharitra:

1. Writing my stories eradicates illiteracy, those who listen to these stories with concentration and devotion shall be free of affection towards worldly things. They will develop strong devotion and love towards God. And the one who dives deep into My stories, he would get precious jewels of knowledge.
2. When anyone utters my name with love, I shall fulfill all their wishes, increase their devotion. Protect them from all directions. When my devotees who are connected to me emotionally listen to my stories their heart will be filled with happiness. Those who sing earnestly about My life and My deeds shall be blessed with infinite joy and everlasting contentment. My main principle is to free the person, who surrenders completely to Me, who worships Me faithfully, and who remembers Me, and meditates on Me constantly. Those who ignore other things in the world to meditate on my name, pray to me, recollect my stories and constantly remember me, cannot be caught up in materialistic pleasures. I will draw them out from the jaws of Death. Just listening to my stories alone is enough to protect you from all diseases so listen to my stories with concentration and devotion. Fill your heart with those stories. This is the path to happiness and contentment. My devotees’ ego and pride shall vanish. People who listen to these stories shall feel peaceful. Those who trust wholeheartedly will unite with Supreme Consciousness. Just by keeping my name "Sai" in your mind and heart you shall be pardoned from sins of listening to unpleasant things and doing misdeeds.
3. Always clearly remember that I am aware of wherever you are and whatever you are doing. I rule over everyone's heart; I live in everyone's heart. I surround all animate and inanimate creatures all over the world. I am the one who runs this world, I am the principal actor. I am the mother - origin of all beings - the Harmony of three Gunas, the propeller of all senses, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer. Those who focus their attention upon me will not face any danger or difficulty; whoever forgets me will be punished by nature/Maya. All the insects, ants, all the visible and invisible creatures in the world are My Body or Form
4. Food and clothes will never be deficient in my devotee's house. I will take care of the wellbeing of those who focus their attention completely on me and worship me with complete devotion and concentration. Hence do not struggle for food and clothing. Pray to God to fulfill your needs. Leave behind your tussle for name and fame in the world and instead strive to find grace in God's chamber; and to please God and earn his mercy. Give up your delusion to gain worldly respect. Fill your heart with the image of your favorite deity. Engage your heart and all organs of the body only for worshipping God. Don't let your mind and heart distract in other directions. Always keep your focus by remembering me then your mind will be calm and composed without any frustration; that way understand that your mind is in correct association. If the mind is unstable that means it is not attentive.
5. All my difficulties of my devotees, I perceive as my own.
6. First give food to the hungry and then eat yourself.
7. Dogs, cats, pigs, mosquitoes, cows etc are all a part of me. I am the one who is roaming in their forms. He, who sees Me in all these creatures is My beloved. So stop differentiating between me and other creatures and serve Me.
8. Hindu's deity Shri Rama and Muslim's deity Rahim are one and the same. There is not even slightest difference between them; then why should their devotees differentiate and quarrel among themselves? You ignorant folk, join hands and bring both the communities together, act sanely and gain national unity. Disputes and arguments are pointless, so quit them and don't compete with others. Always consider your interest and welfare. The Lord will protect you. Yoga, sacrifice, penance, and knowledge are the means to attain God. If you do not attain Moksha (Liberation, that is, of the soul from the body. Deliverance from the bonds of sense) by embracing one of these means, then your life is meaningless. If anyone does any evil unto you, do not retaliate. If you can do anything, do some good unto others.
9. Baba spoke very humbly as follows:- "Slave of slaves I am your debtor, I am satisfied at your darshan. It is a great favour that I saw your feet. I am an insect in your excreta. I consider Myself blessed thereby". What humility is this? If anybody would think that by publishing this, any disrespect is shown to Sai, we beg His pardon and to atone for this we sing and chant Baba's name.
10. I have never been angry at anyone. Can a mother push away her children? Can a sea turn away the river that merges into it? So why will I neglect you? I always desire your wellbeing. I am your servant who is always with you and responds whenever you call upon me. The only thing I always desire is your love.
11. Though I am a fakhir and do not have a wife, house, or responsibilities, I live in only one place. I am being troubled by the inevitable Maya (illusive power). I can forget myself but unable to forget her. I am being possessed by her. This Maya of the Lord frustrates even Lord Brahma and others, hence a fakhir like me is no struggle for her. Whoever takes refuge in the God can escape from her with His grace.
12. Those who are fortunate and whose sins have diminished, they shall do my puja. If you always meditate on my name saying "Sai, Sai" I will help you cross all seven oceans (i.e., guide you to overcome all kinds of difficulties); believe in these words and you will certainly be benefitted I do not need any paraphernalia of worship - either eight-fold or sixteen-fold. I reside where there is devotion.
13. Cast off your anxiety, your sufferings have come to an end. However miserable and troubled one may be as soon as he steps into the Masjid, his misery shall vanish and path toward happiness shall open. The Fakir here is very kind and He will cure the disease and protect all with love and kindness.
14. If you spread your palms with devotion before Me, I will immediately be with you, day and night. Though, I am here bodily, still I know what you do; beyond the seven seas. Go wherever you want in this world; I am with you. My abode is in your heart, and I am within your body. Always worship Me, who resides in your heart, as well as, in the hearts of all beings. Whoever recognizes me like this is fortunate, purified and blessed.
15. For seeing Brahma one has to give five things, i.e. surrender five things (1) Five Pranas (vital forces), (2) Five senses (five of action and five of perception), (3) mind, (4) intellect and (5) ego. This path of Brahma-Jnana of self-realization is 'as hard as to tread on the edge of a razor'. Not everyone is capable of this in their lives, certain abilities are absolutely necessary. (For detailed explanation See chapter 16-17, Brahma gnana)
16. For a greedy man there is no peace, neither contentment, nor certainty (steadiness). If there be even a little trace of greed in mind, all the Sadhanas (spiritual endeavors) are of no avail. Purification of mind is absolutely necessary; without it, all our spiritual endeavors are nothing, but useless show and pomp. It is, therefore, better for one to take only what he can digest and assimilate. My treasury is full, and I can give anyone what they want but before that I must test whether they are qualified to receive what I give. If you listen to this carefully, you will certainly benefit.
17. My method is quite unique. Remember this one story very well (Mrs. Radha bhai Deshmukh, chapter 17,18 see appendix), and it will be very useful. To get the knowledge (realization) of the Self, Dhyana (meditation) is necessary. If you practice it continuously, the Vrittis (thoughts) will be pacified. Being quite desireless, you should meditate on the Lord, Who is in all the creatures, and when the mind is concentrated, the goal will be achieved. Meditate always on My formless nature, which is knowledge incarnate, consciousness and bliss. If you cannot do this, meditate on My Form from top to toe as you see here night and day. As you keep doing this, your Vrittis will concentrate on one point and the distinction between the Dhyata (meditator), Dhyana (act of meditation), Dhyeya (this meditated upon) will be lost, and the meditator will connect with Consciousness and be merged in the Brahma.
18. A person does not go to another person unless there is some relation or purpose. If any person or creatures come to you, do not discourteously drive them away, but receive them well and treat them with due respect. God will certainly be pleased, if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked, and your verandah to strangers for sitting and resting. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give, but do not bark at him, like a dog. Let people speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent them by giving any bitter reply. If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. Let the world go topsy-turvy, you do not tremble. Be steady where you are and calmly watch the show that is going on in front of you. Demolish the wall of difference that separates you from Me; and then the road for our meeting will be clear and open. The sense of differentiation, as I and you, is the barrier that keeps away the disciple from his Master, and unless that is destroyed the state of union or atonement is not possible, "Allah Malik" i.e., God is the sole Proprietor, nobody else is our Protector. His method of work is extraordinary, invaluable, and inscrutable. His Will will be done, and He will show us the way, and satisfy our heart's desires. It is on account of Rinaubandh (former relationship) that we have come together, let us love and serve each other and be happy. He, who attains the supreme goal of life, is immortal and happy; all others merely exist, i.e., live so long as they breathe".
19. Baba has his unique way of mending people that abuse or blame others. Once a person was verbally abusing another person. When Baba met the abuser in the garden, he said "See that pig, how it is relishing on dung. Your personality is also such. You are consciously and wholeheartedly abusing your fellow beings. After performing many deeds of merit, you are born a man, and if you act like this, will Shirdi help you in any way?"
20. Baba said - He was omnipresent, occupying land, air, country, world, light and heaven, and that He was not limited. To remove the misunderstanding of those, who thought that Baba was only His body - three cubits and a half in length, He incarnated Himself in this form and if any devotee meditated on Him day and night with complete self-surrender, he experienced complete union (without any difference) with Him like sweetness and sugar, waves and sea, eye and its luster. He, who wants to get rid of the cycle of births and deaths, should lead a righteous life, with his mind calm and composed. He should always engage himself in good actions, should do his duties and surrender himself, heart and soul to Baba. He need not then be afraid of anything. He who trusts Him entirely, hears and expounds His Leelas and does not think of anything else, is sure to attain Self-manifestation.
21. Nobody should take the labour of others, in vain. The worker should be paid his dues promptly and liberally.
22. God lives in all living beings; be it snakes or scorpions. God is the creator that operates this world. All creatures including snakes and scorpions oblige to God's orders. Unless God allows no one can harm others. The whole world relies on him. No one is independent. So, we should be compassionate and love all beings. Be patient and do not engage in unnecessary disputes and murders. God protects everyone.
23. Eating alone is a bad habit. When there is no one around to share your food with, think of me, don't forget that I am always with you.
24. When my devotees worship the way they want, I do not want others to interfere.
25. Though I pass away, my bones in My tomb will give you hope and confidence. Not only Myself but My tomb would be speaking, moving, and communicating with those who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me. Do not be worried that I would be away from you. You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare. Remember Me always, believe in Me wholeheartedly and consciously then you will be most benefited.
26. So many people crowd around Sai Baba. Do they all benefit from Him? To this, Baba replied - "Look at the mango tree in blossom. If all the flowers bore fruit, what a splendid crop it would be. But do they? Most fall off as flowers and some fall off as unripe fruits due to wind. Only few remain".
27. I will be present whenever, wherever someone thinks of me.
28. Whatever happens, do not leave hope. Take refuge in your Guru and always be peaceful. Always immerse yourself in your Guru's meditation.
29. God shall definitely protect those that have faith and patience.
30. I don't need a door to enter a house. I have no form. I live everywhere. Whoever trusts me and are engrossed in meditating on my name; I shall make sure all their tasks run smoothly.
31. You must face the consequences of your actions (karma)
32. Wealth and prosperity are not everlasting. Body is subject to decay and death; Knowing this fact, perform your duties. Forgo attachment for eternal and worldly things. Whoever can do this and takes refuge at God's feet, shall escape from all obstacles, and attain Moksha. God goes running to help people who meditate on his name with complete love and devotion.
33. "Why do you want to fast?" - Baba never fasted himself nor did he allow anyone to fast. Mind of those who fast is never stable. Hence how can they gain eternal bliss with an unstable mind. You cannot see God by starving.
34. Something that a human give does not last long, and it is always imperfect. But what My Sircar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time. No other gift from anyone can be compared to His. My Sircar says "Take, take," but everybody comes to me and says 'Give, give.' Nobody attends carefully to the meaning of what I say. My Sircar's treasury (spiritual wealth) is full and overflowing. I say, "Dig out and take away this wealth in cartloads, the blessed son should fill himself with this wealth. The skill of my Fakir, the Leela of my Bhagwan, the aptitude of my Sircar is quite unique. What about Me? Body will integrate in earth, and breath will blend in the air. This time won't come again. I will go somewhere, sit somewhere; the hard Maya troubles Me very much, still I always worry about my people. Whoever practices anything (spiritual endeavor) will reap its fruit and he who remembers these words of Mine will get invaluable happiness."
35. I am God's disciple. As per his command I came to take care of your welfare and well-being.
36. Those who come to this Masjid will never suffer from any disease in their life. So be peaceful. Keep your faith in God. This is not Masjid, but Dwarawati. Those who steps here will gain health and happiness and their sufferings will come to an end.
37. True remedy is that you should suffer the consequences of your sins in your previous life and redeem yourself from those sins. Your happiness and miseries are the result of your karma; Bare the results. Allah (God) is the sole Dispenser and Protector, always meditating on him. He will take care of you. Surrender your body, mind, wealth and speech and everything at his feet, i.e., take refuge in him completely and then see what He does.
38. Karma's path is strange. Though I do nothing, they hold Me responsible for everything that happens. This happens because of luck. I am just their witness. The Lord is the sole Doer and Inspirer. He is also most merciful. Neither I am God nor Lord. I am His loyal servant who often reminds you of Him. Those who cast aside their ego and pray to Him, who trusts Him completely, will be liberated from all ties.
39. Destroy the wall (sense of difference) between us, so that we can see each other face to face and meet each other.
40. If I take a rupee Dakshina from anyone I must give them ten times more. I do not take it without a reason. I do not ask without knowing the whole story. I take only from people that Fakhir points to. I accept money only from people that are indebted to Fakhir since their previous birth. Whatever the donor gives now is like sowing his seeds to reap a rich harvest in future. Use your wealth for charity and good deeds. It is unfruitful to use it for yourself. Unless you have given it in previous birth, you do not get it now. So, the best way to receive is to give. The giving of Dakshina advances Vairagya (Non-Attachment) and thereby gives devotion and wisdom. By giving one rupee you can gain ten rupees.
41. I do not take anything from anyone, Masjid Mayi expects her loan to be repaid. Borrower pays off and frees himself from the debt. Do I have a house, property, or family? I do not need anything. I am forever free/independent. Debt, enmity, and murder should be atoned for, there is no escape.
42. I do not forget those who always remember Me. I do not need rickshaw, car, train, flight, or any mode of transportation. I run and appear in front of those who call me with love.
43. To satiate a dog's hunger is the same as satisfying my hunger. Dogs also have a soul. Life forms may be different, but hunger is the same. Some can speak while some cannot. Remember that feeding hungry is equivalent to feeding me.
44. Those who love me abundantly will always see me. They feel like this world is empty without me. They talk only about my stories. They are constantly in my meditation and always chant my name. I am indebted to those who take my refuge and meditate on me. I repay their debt by providing Moksha. I am dependent on those who always think about me, are in my diksha, and do not eat anything without offering to me first. Whoever approaches my surroundings (sannidhan) shall unite with me like how rivers merge with sea. So even without a trace of pride and ego you should completely surrender yourself to Me, who lives in your heart.
45. You do not have to travel far or go anywhere to find me. If you forgo your name and form, you will find Consciousness or supreme power not only in yourself but in all living beings - that is me. Realize this and see me not only in yourself but in everything. If you practice this, you will experience my pervasiveness in everything and unite in me.
46. I am troubled when people abuse or insult others. I am pleased with those who are patient and tolerate all the difficulties.
47. Good or Bad, whatever is ours will remain with us and whatever is others’ will stay with them.
48. God rushes to protect his devotees from any danger.
49. Keep your faith in me, your strongest desire shall be fulfilled.
50. Let the sensory organs work the way they are intended; you do not meddle with it. Since God has created this beautiful world, appreciating its beauty is our fate/duty. Slow and steady your mind becomes calm and composed. Why do you want to use the back door when the front door is open? Let eyes fulfill their duty, why do you have to feel embarrassed and scared?

Connected Story for reference only - once few Muslim women came to see Baba and one of them removed her veil to see baba. Nana who was sitting there saw the lady and was smitten by her beauty and wanted to keep looking at her and felt restless. He wanted to go away from there, but Baba stopped him from leaving and once the ladies left, Baba said the above words to Nana. Here is Nana's Explanation of above - Mind is naturally unstable, so do not increase its instability. Organs can be distributed but you have to keep your body in your control. Do not let it lose its patience. Senses can be distracted and wander behind many things but don't let yourself follow it or desire it. Slowly and steadily, with practice you can conquer the restlessness.

51. Do not regard yourself as the executor of anything good or bad. Completely get rid of your pride and ego. Then your spirituality will improve.

Mrs. Radhabai Deshmukh Story (From #17) chapter 18,19 (For reference)

There was an old woman by name Radhabai, She was the mother of Khashaba Deshmukh. Hearing Baba's fame, she came to Shirdi with the people of Sangamner. She took Baba's darshan and was very satisfied. She loved Baba intimately and decided to accept Baba as her Guru and get some Updesh from Him. She knew nothing else. She was determined to fast herself unto death, so long as Baba did not accept her, and give her any Upadesh or Mantra. She stayed in her lodging and stopped eating any food or water for three days. Shama was frightened by this ordeal of the old woman and interceded with Baba on her behalf. He said, "Deva, what is this You have started? You drag so many people here. You know that old lady. She is very obstinate and depends on You entirely, she has resolved to fast unto death, if You don't accept and instruct her. If anything, worse happens, people will blame You, and say that Baba did not instruct her, and consequently she met her death. So take some mercy on her, bless her and instruct her." On seeing her determination, Baba sent for her, changed the turn of her mind by addressing her as follows: -
"Oh mother, why are you subjecting yourself to unnecessary tortures and hastening your death? You are really My Mother, and I am your child. Take pity on Me and hear Me through. I will tell you My own story, which if you listen carefully, will do you good. I had a Guru. He was a great Saint and most merciful. I served him long, very long; still, he would not reveal any Mantra into My ears. I had a keen desire, never to leave him but to stay with and serve him; and at all costs receive some instructions from him.
But he had his own way. He first got my head shaved and asked Me two paisa as Dakshina. I gave the same at once. If you ask that as My Guru was perfect, why should he ask for money and how should he be called desireless? I shall plainly say that he never cared for coins. He doesn't have anything to do with them. His two paisa were (1) Firm Faith and (2) Patience or perseverance. I gave these two paisa or things to him, and he was pleased. "I resorted to My Guru for 12 years. He brought Me up. There was no dearth of food and clothing. He was full of love; he was a love incarnate. How can I describe it? He loved Me most. Rare is a Guru like him. When I looked at him, he seemed as if he was in deep meditation, and then we both were filled with Bliss. Night and day, I gazed at him with no thought of hunger and thirst. Without him, I felt restless. I had no other object to meditate, nor any other thing than My Guru to attend. He was My sole refuge. My mind was always fixed on him. This is one paisa of Dakshina. Saburi (Patience or perseverance) is the other paisa. I waited patiently and exceptionally long on My Guru and served him. This Saburi will ferry you across the sea of this mundane existence. Saburi is manliness in man, it removes all sins and afflictions, gets rid of calamities in various ways, casts aside all fear, and ultimately gives you success. Saburi is the mine of virtues, consort of good thought. Nishtha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience) are like twin sisters, loving each other very intimately."
"My Guru never expected anything else from Me. He never neglected Me but protected Me at all times. I lived with him and was sometimes away from him; still I never felt the want or absence of his love. He always protected Me by his glance, just as the tortoise feeds her young ones, whether they are near her or away from her on the other side of the riverbank, by her loving glance. Oh mother, My Guru never taught Me any Mantra, then how shall I provide any Mantra to you? Just remember that Guru's tortoise-like loving glance gives us happiness. Do not try to get Mantra or Updesh from anybody. Make Me the sole object of your thoughts and actions; and you will, no doubt, attain Paramartha (the spiritual goal of life). Look at Me whole-heartedly, and I in turn look at you similarly. Sitting in this Masjid, I speak the truth, nothing but the truth. No Sadhanas, nor proficiency in the six Shastras, are necessary. Have faith and confidence in your Guru. Believe fully, that Guru is the sole Actor or Doer. Blessed is he who knows the greatness of his Guru and thinks him to be Hari, Hara and Brahma (Trimurti) Incarnate."
Instructed in this way, the old lady was convinced; she bowed to Baba and gave up her fast.

Some Experiences
Healing from Typhoid
When I was 14 years old, I got sick with a fever. It was very severe and didn't heal even after a week. I was in bed, weak to even move. One night I got a dream which is still fresh in my mind - I was sitting in the doctor's waiting room awaiting my turn. Then Baba (in the dream he was staff at the hospital) came to me and started showing me around the hospital, showed me some posters on the notice board and took me outside to get some fresh air and played with me. After that I woke up from the dream. From that day on I started recovering. After I recovered my parents revealed to me that it was not ordinary fever but Typhoid and that they got very worried about me.

Jobs
Harini moved abroad with her family when she was 17 and desperately wanted to do a job to save money and visit India. The small town she lived in did not have many jobs, so she wasn't having any luck finding a job. After trying for seven months, she started doing 7-day parayan, and on that Friday she went to a coffee shop to drop off resume. That Wednesday she got a call from them to come in for an interview the next day which was Thursday. When she went in, they asked a few questions and right there informed that she had been selected and gave her the uniform and work schedule for a couple weeks. She was beyond thrilled and grateful. Before this interview happened, sometime in that week she saw a dream - she was running away from some goons chasing her and was about to fall but held onto something. When she looked up she could see very large feet, as she tried to look up further she saw a huge person with gown type clothing.

Harini had a similar experience with her other job that changed her career. It was in a bank; she got the offer for it on a Thursday. She first joined as a casual employee and later applied for another role within that bank. She didn't get any response for a long time so one day she lost hope and started crying lying in her bed, then hearing phone notification, she looked at the phone and surprisingly got an email from the director that she got the job and guess what? It was again Thursday!! She got two promotions and prestigious cruise award in that bank, and it also paved path for her career

Uniting Family
Neelima always lived with her family- husband, son, daughter in law and daughter. It so happened that she had to move to a different state along with her husband, son and daughter in law. The plan was for her daughter to join them later once she gets transferred through her job. It has been more than a year, but her daughter didn't get transferred or another job. They grew distressed as they were not able to unite as a family. Her daughter was getting lonely and depressed, then Neelima's friend told her about Sai Baba's 9-week vrat. Both Neelima and her daughter started doing this vrat and exactly after 9 weeks, Neelima went to Sai baba temple on a Thursday to offer her prayers then while she was in the temple, she got a call from her daughter saying that she got a job offer. Within a month her daughter moved. After lot of struggles, with Baba's blessings they were also able to find a nice two portion house that fits their family needs by the time her daughter moved.

Help clear dilemma
Aaradhya was in a dilemma whether she is ready to have a baby or wait longer. She was already 29 and didn't know if waiting longer was a good idea. She prayed to Baba to show her a way. One day she had a dream that she went for a pregnancy test and the doctor told she was pregnant and then Baba looked at her smiling. Two days later, she went to Sai Baba's temple on a Thursday. On the way back she was talking to her mother about some changes in her health recently and after coming home she did a home pregnancy test and to her surprise it was positive. With baba's blessings she gave birth to a baby girl.

Job
Latha and her husband paid advance for a house and before taking the mortgage, Latha lost her job. There was only a few months left for the closing and Latha needed a job to afford the house. She did Sai Baba parayan with devotion and utmost faith. She did not let any negative thoughts overcome her trust in Baba. One night she saw a dream - she was in a hotel room along with her husband and parents, somewhere to attend a Job interview that her husband referred her to. Suddenly in that room she saw Baba's posters in all directions and excitedly she told her mother she will definitely get this job as Baba's blessings are with her. This was on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning after puja, when she checked her phone, she got an email from the same company as her dream to attend for an interview the next day. She did well in the interview with Baba's blessings and got the job and the pay was also more than she expected.

Lost Jewellery
Kumari safely kept her Jewellery in a box while moving houses. After she moved, she noticed that a necklace and ring were missing from her jewelry. She searched the entire box and looked everywhere else but didn't find them anywhere. After a while when she did Sai Baba 9 thursdays vrat, she prayed to baba about the lost jewelry. Few days later she had to open that box to get a book from it. When she opened the book, to her surprise she found the lost necklace and ring. She was very relieved and thanked baba wholeheartedly for his miracle.



About Author
I believe Baba has chosen me to be his devotee. Thanks to my mother, I grew up listening to Baba stories from her and frequently doing the 7 day parayanam with her. I call upon Baba for every little thing and he always helps me. I used to regard Baba as God but as a different entity. Only recently I realized that Sai baba is Trimurthi incarnation. There is also widespread belief that sai baba is dattatreya avatar, Dattatreya is none other than Trimurthi themselves. After this realization he gave me this thought of writing this book, again through my mother. I did not know what to write about and Baba has given me this idea of bringing together all his quotations from the Satcharitra.

​There is also an interesting story about my birth that my mother told me. My mother was at the railway station waiting for my father. Suddenly an old Fakhir in white dress approached her, put his hand near her stomach and said you will be blessed with a baby girl, touched her head and blessed her and went away. Just then my father came and when my mother told him about the incident, he tried to look for Fakhir but couldn’t find him anywhere. In my father’s side of family there was no girl child from three generations and my mother’s first born is also a boy – so they didn’t take the Fakhir seriously. After couple weeks my mother found out she was pregnant, she thought she was having a boy again but when I was born, they were pleasantly surprised. My mother then remembered what Fakhir said, he not only knew she was pregnant, but he also knew it is going to be a girl; so she believes it was Baba that came as Fakhir to bless her.

Before I start, I want to completely surrender to my Sai baba and thank him for giving me the opportunity of writing this book. I pray to baba to make me type what he wants people to learn through this book. I believe everything in this book is written by baba himself.
