Sad Vani (true words)
সদ্বাণী (Sad Vani)
Short sayings arranged by theme: the search for God as life’s only goal, repetition of the divine name, surrender, the company of saints, duty done without attachment. It records the teaching of the Dhaka years with the closeness of a daily witness and the devotion of one who saw in her the divine Mother. It is the earliest source for her words.
