So, I set about collecting Sai Baba's teachings, and expressions - the outcome of His boundless and natural self-relization.  It was Sai Baba, who inspired me in this matter, in fact, I surrendered my ego at His feet, and thought that my path was clear; and that He would make me quite happy here, and in the next world.

"When I do not know the life of my intimate friend nor do I know my own mind, then how can I write the life of a saint or describe the nature of Incarnations.  which even the Vedas were unable to do?  One must be a saint himself, before he could know other saints, otherwise how can I describe their glory?  To write the life of a saint is the most difficult, though one may as well measure the depth of the water of the seven seas or enclose the sky with cloth-trappings.  I knew, that this was the most venturous undertaking, which might expose me to ridicule.  I, therefore, invoked Sai Baba's grace.
