Can you explain how Sai Baba's influence extended to people who had never met him, using the story of the lady from Berhampur?

Sai Baba's influence often spread in extraordinary ways, reaching individuals who had never had his direct darshan. A wonderful story from Chapter 28 illustrates this perfectly. A devout lady living in Berhampur had a vision where Baba appeared at her door and specifically asked for khichdi. She had never seen him before, yet this powerful dream experience ignited her devotion. As detailed in Chapter 28, this vision was the catalyst that, after her husband's transfer to Akola, prompted the couple to make the journey to Shirdi to seek out the Maharaj she had seen in her dream, demonstrating how Baba could draw his devotees from afar.
