Chapter 48 of the Sai Satcharitra establishes a direct and crucial link between faith (Bhava) and love. The text explicitly states that love does not arise without faith. It emphasizes this connection by declaring that 'where there is faith, there is God' and that love is fully present 'in the womb of faith.' This implies that faith is the very foundation from which love can grow and flourish. According to this chapter, faith is the essential cause that enables a person to cross the 'ocean of worldly existence,' making it the root of the deep, loving devotion that is considered paramount.
