The cardinal principles of Sai Path are called ‘Shraddha ' and 'Saburi'. Sai Baba looks for these two qualities in his devotees. Here are the teachings and philosophies of Sai Baba of Shirdi.
'Shraddha' means faith with love and reverence.
Such faith or trust is generated out of conviction, a spiritual inspiration.
According to Sai Baba of Shirdi, steadfast love in God is the gateway to eternity.
Baba's teaching, both direct and indirect explicate the significance of 'Shraddha'.
Baba reiterates the spiritual guidance of Shri Krishna to Arjun - "Whosoever offer to Me with love or devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, that offering of pure love is readily accepted by Me".
His most concise message for one and all alike was "Why fear when I am here". Saibaba said that he was a slave in the service of those who loved him.
He was ever living to help those who turn to him and that he has to take care of his children day and night.

Accusations of human lapses A parallel Legacy
Sri Sathya Sai Baba, a famous Indian guru, is known by many through his appearance – five feet in height, a voluminous hair-do – and his materialisations. Out of thin air he seems to create vibuthi, („sacred ash‟), rings, watches, necklaces. “Miracles are my visiting cards,” is his often quoted explanation for these phenomena.
An Issue known to be of importance to Sai
Baba is education. Approximately 75 boys‟
& girls‟ schools in India and abroad
carrying his name have been founded, and
there are Sai Baba colleges and universities
run by the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher
Learning.
Healthcare is promoted in Sai Baba‟s name.
With the support of donations two Super
Specialty Hospitals have been built and give
free medical treatment.
Fresh water projects are a third type of large
initiatives taken by his organization to help
those in need.
His teachings can be summarised in a few of words,
epitomising five human values: truth, right conduct,
peace, love and non-violence. These words, or the icons of
five major religions on earth, are imprinted on the leaves
of the lotus symbol of the organisation.
