Sai Baba meaning

Consider the meaning of the name ‘Sai Baba’. ‘Sa’ means Divine; ‘ai’ or ‘ayi’ means mother, and ‘Baba’ means father. Your physical parents exhibit love with a dose of selfishness; but Sai, your Divine Mother and Father, showers affection or reprimands only to lead you towards victory in the struggle for self-realisation. For, this Sai has come in order to achieve the supreme task of uniting the entire mankind as one family through the bond of brotherhood. His task is to affirm and illuminate the Atmic Reality of each being in order to reveal the Divine which is the basis on which the entire cosmos rests. It is also His task to instruct all to recognise the common divine heritage that binds one to another, so that you can rid yourself of the animal and rise into the Divine. I had to tell you so much about My Truth, for I wish that you contemplate on this and derive joy therefrom. I wish that you may be inspired to observe the disciplines laid down by Me and progress towards the Goal of Self-realisation, the realisation of the Sai that shines in your hearts.
