Sai Baba of Shirdi (1838 – 15 October 1918; Resided in Shirdi), also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was a spiritual master who was and is regarded by his devotees as a saint, fakir, avatar (an incarnation of God), or sadguru, according to their individual proclivities and beliefs. He was revered by both his Muslim and Hindu devotees, and during, as well as after, his life on earth it remained uncertain if he was a Muslim or Hindu himself.
Pure love is the chief manifestation of education.
No joy can equal the joy of serving others.
It is only in the depths of silence that the voice of God can be heard.
Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.
There is no use if knowledge grows while desires multiply. It makes one a hero in words and a zero in action.
Let anyone speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving a bitter reply.If you tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give. But do not bark at him like a Dog.
Education should serve to enlarge the vision and broaden the outlook of the people.
The objective of education should be impressed on the children’s minds. The academic education of today is shallow and useless because it has no value orientation.
What is necessary is not EHV, but 3-HV: (Head-Heart-and Hands). The hands should carry out what the heart and approved of the ideas emanated from the head.
Education has to cultivate humility and discipline, but today it is yielding a harvest of pride and envy.
