Sai Baba outlines several direct actions a devotee can perform to earn his grace and protection, as detailed in Chapter 3. The first is to take his name with love, with the promise that he will fulfill their tasks. Another powerful action is to sing his life story and deeds with great fondness, or perform his kirtan, to which he promises to give the "cloud of joy, eternal happiness and peace." He also vows to physically and spiritually protect such a person, standing on all four sides of them. Finally, the ultimate path is to surrender solely to him, worship him with faith, and constantly contemplate his form, for which he vows to grant liberation.
