The text mentions both 'Shraddha' as a ritual and the concept of 'faith.' How did Sai Baba emphasize the importance of faith for receiving a divine vision?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 4

Sai Baba strongly emphasized that unwavering faith was a prerequisite for divine experiences. As detailed in Chapter 4, when Das Ganu organized a Name-week (Saptah) and insisted that Vitthal must appear, Baba confirmed it was possible but laid down a condition. He placed his hand on his chest and told Das Ganu firmly, 'Yes, yes, the form of Vitthal will appear! But the devotee must be full of faith.' This highlights that the devotee's internal state of belief was paramount. Baba's statement implies that divine visions are not granted arbitrarily but are a direct response to the intensity of a devotee's love and trust, which was later proven when Das Ganu did receive a vision of Vitthal.
