Can you explain the importance of faith, or 'shraddha', in Sai Baba's teachings using the examples from the text?

Faith, or shraddha, was a cornerstone of Sai Baba's teachings, as illustrated in Chapter 4. When Das Ganu wanted a guarantee that Lord Vitthal would appear, Baba placed a hand on his chest and declared that the vision would manifest, but emphatically added, "the devotee must be full of faith." This shows that faith is the prerequisite for divine experience. In contrast, the story of Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar demonstrates the negative consequences of a lapse in faithful duty. By neglecting his father's Shraddha and the worship of Vitthal, he was seen as starving the divine. Baba's intervention was to restore this broken faith and practice, highlighting that both active belief and the faithful continuation of duties are essential.
