Faith is based on Shirdi Sai Baba’s 11 Assurances / Teachings:

1. Whoever puts his feet on Shirdi soil, his sufferings would come to an end.

2. The wretched and miserable would rise into plenty of joy and happiness, as soon as they climb the steps of My Samadhi.

3. I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this earthly body.

4. My tomb shall bless and speak to the needs of My devotees.

5. I shall be active and vigorous even from the tomb.

6. My mortal remains would speak from the tomb.

7. I am ever living to help and guide all who come to Me, who surrender to Me, and who seek refuge in Me.

8. If you look to Me, I will look to you.

9. If you cast your burden on Me, I shall surely bear it.

10. If you seek My advice and help, it shall be given to you at once.

11. There shall be no want in the house of My devotee.

All devotees of Baba find His promises come true, over 100 years after He left the mortal body. Baba used to call His devotees as children, and like the true father, kept busy day-in and day-out for their temporal as well as spiritual upliftment. In today’s world the children of God, torn asunder by religious, social, and sectarian strife, should run to the father to experience that love which can only unite them. Human beings may conquer all the planets and stars before they learn the magic formula to conquer the hearts of their fellow beings. The formula has been given by the Master. It is for us to follow to make the world a better place to live.
