Based on the text, compare the two snake-related incidents involving Mirikar and Bapusaheb Buti. How did Baba's intervention differ in each case?

Chapter 22 presents two distinct instances of Baba's protection from snakes. In Mirikar's case, the intervention was preemptive; Baba foresaw the danger and sent Shama as a helper, averting a potential "calamity" before Mirikar was even aware of it. For Bapusaheb Buti, the intervention was psychological. After an astrologer's grim prediction, Baba directly confronted the fear, telling Buti not to worry. The danger still manifested when Buti encountered a snake, but Baba's words had already armed him with courage. Thus, Baba's compassion was shown by physically averting a crisis for Mirikar and by spiritually fortifying Buti to face his.
