First, I bow and dedicate myself to the feet of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba, the great Saint and Sadguru, by reciting the Guru Mantra
Gurur-Brahma Gurur-Vishnu Gurur-Devo-Mahesvaraha Guru sat-sat Parabrahma thasmai Shri Guravae Namaha.
In the ancient Vedic times, many sages observed hard penance and performed deep meditation and realised the truth which was written down as shlokas in Sanskrit. Later, all these shlokas were compiled by Sage Vyas and produced as the Vedas: Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva. Furthermore, these Vedas were elaborately described in the form of Upanishads. Bhagavad Gita is the gist and nectar of the Upanishads. Similarly, the Bible and Holy Quran were the absolute truths realised by Prophets - Jesus Christ and Mohammad Nabi. All these scriptures comprises of God's word and spiritual pearls. In a similar fashion, Baba's sayings were God's word and pearls of absolute truth, which were realised by Him through hard penance and deep meditation. That is why all the chapters of this book begin with Baba's name as headings, viz., Shri Shirdi Sai Karma Yoga, Shri Shirdi Sai Bhakti Yoga, Shri Shirdi Sai Jnana Yoga and so on. These absolute truths can never be destroyed by time, period and era, and will stay forever in this world.
In this book, Baba's divine sayings have been devised and framed as a holy spiritual path in the form of Bhagavad Gita. Shirdi Sai Baba's sayings, in a simple form, encompass all the aspects of the Vedas, the Bible, the Holy Quran and the Bhagavad Gita. The main objective of writing this book is to fulfil Baba's life vision by compiling all His life activity and project it to the world as a spiritual path. Baba's avatar is the symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity, and represents liberation from sin. That is why His spiritual path incorporates both Sanatan Dharma and Islamic principles. Therefore, in this book, separate chapters have been devoted to explain Baba's sayings about the principles of Sanatan Dharma which are God-Incarnation (Ch-1&2: Avatar), Law of Karma and Rebirth (Ch-3) and Image Worship (Ch-6). Similarly, Islamic principles such as Charity (Ch-5), Holy Yatra (Ch-8), praying five times a day and Allah Worship (Ch-6) have been placed in their respective chapters.
We have read many spiritual scriptures, such as Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Lord Buddha's sayings, Shri Ramakrishna Paramahansa's sayings and so on. However, Baba's sayings are very unique and intensely powerful. The moment we hear His sayings, we feel the power in them.
