Chapter 20 puts forth the idea that even though the physical events of Baba's life are in the past, they can still be experienced. The chapter states that "all those past celebrations... through the power of firm meditation they become visible." The specific example used to illustrate this point is the scene after the noon Aarti. The text describes how Baba would distribute Udi and lovingly dismiss his devotees to go eat. Immediately after describing this scene, the chapter notes that though it cannot be seen now, firm meditation allows one to visualize and experience it. It encourages readers to behold Baba from "toe to his face" in meditation to connect with these past moments.
Chapter 20 suggests that past events in Shirdi can still be witnessed. How does the text say this is possible, and what scene is used as an example?
