Chapter 30 of the Sri Sai Satcharita makes a very clear statement about the fundamental duty of saints. It declares that "The task of uplifting one's own devotees is always unavoidable for saints." This is portrayed not as a choice but as an inherent and inescapable responsibility that comes with their spiritual stature. The text addresses Sai directly on this matter, calling Him the "Acharya (teacher) of the assembly of saints" and noting that even for Him, this sacred duty is "inescapable." This highlights the core purpose of a Sadguru: to guide, protect, and ensure the spiritual elevation of those who have taken refuge in them, a central theme of Sai's compassionate nature.
Chapter 30 mentions the duties of saints. What does it describe as the "unavoidable task" for a saint like Sai Baba?
