Sai Baba on Faith and Patience
Sai Baba of Shirdi summed up his entire teaching in just two words: Shraddha (faith) and Saburi (patience).
According to Sai Baba, faith gives strength during difficult times, and patience protects the mind from worry and fear.
What Is Faith According to Sai Baba?
Sai Baba believed faith was not blind belief. It was deep trust in God’s plan.
He taught that when a person truly believes, fear disappears. Faith brings peace, even when problems remain.
How to Practice Faith Daily
Trust that God is watching over you
Do your duty sincerely
Stop overthinking outcomes
Faith means surrendering worry and accepting guidance.
What Is Patience According to Sai Baba?
Patience, or Saburi, was just as important as faith.
Sai Baba taught that many people lose hope because they want instant results. He reminded his devotees that every problem has a right time to be solved.
How to Practice Patience Daily
Stay calm during delays
Accept setbacks without anger
Continue doing good without expecting quick rewards
Patience builds inner strength and emotional balance.
Faith and Patience Work Together
Sai Baba always taught that faith without patience is incomplete.
Faith keeps the heart strong.
Patience keeps the mind calm.
When both are present, life becomes peaceful even during storms.
Sai Baba’s Words on Faith and Patience
Devotees often remember Sai Baba’s message:
Have faith and patience, and I will always protect you
Why fear when I am here
I will never leave my devotees
These words still comfort millions today.

Sai Baba’s teaching reminds us:
Not everything is in our control
Worry does not change outcomes
Trust and calmness lead to better decisions
That is why his message remains timeless.

Believe sincerely.
Wait calmly.
Do good quietly.
