Hundreds of books have been written about Sathya Sai Baba. Everyone who came into contact with Him is in a hurry to share, verbally or in writing, unprecedented impressions and experiences. There are as many amazing stories and changed destinies as there are people who found themselves in His orbit. Everyone has their own concepts, their own starting points, and sometimes a flight of fancy imperceptibly leads the narrator away from the truth. The more valuable for us are the words “first-hand” – the Avatar’s own story about himself. Every moment of this life, told by him, is priceless. His stories about his childhood, about his school years are interspersed in His numerous speeches; here and there, amazing episodes emerge from the unique life of a divine being born in the world of people. In this book they are collected together and given to us for safekeeping – these are the grains separated from the chaff, the “pure truth” from the Avatar.
