Sayings of Shri Sai Baba.

Phrases documented in the canonical record — the Shri Sai Satcharitra of Hemadpant (1929) and the Devotees’ Experiences compiled by B. V. Narasimha Swami. Each saying carries its source. Nothing here is paraphrased without note.

Slight differences exist between Marathi and English translations; we use the wording most widely attested.
