In Chapter 45, the author refers to a 'speech-sacrifice' or 'Vag-yagna'. What is this, and what is its significance?

The 'speech-sacrifice' or 'Vag-yagna' mentioned in Chapter 45 refers to the creation and offering of the Shri Sai Satcharitra itself. The author, presenting himself as one of little knowledge, humbly requests that the wise listeners accept this literary offering with a grateful heart. Its significance lies in its role as a spiritual conduit after Sai Baba's physical departure. As this chapter explains, this book acts as Sai's literary form, providing remembrance. Listening to these stories with concentration is described as a supremely holy act that brings a unique and indescribable peace.
