Despite knowing Sai Baba rarely left Shirdi, why did Mamlatdar Dev have faith that Baba would visit him in Dahanu? Explore the philosophical understanding of Baba's nature that supported this belief.

Mamlatdar Dev had full faith in Baba's infallible words that He would come, even though he knew Baba's movements were typically restricted to Shirdi and three nearby villages. Dev's faith was rooted in a deeper, philosophical understanding of Baba's true nature. Chapter 40 explains this by describing Baba as a "Leelavatari," a complete master of miracles who moves freely by His mere will. The text posits that for a being like Baba, who pervades the moving and the unmoving, the concepts of "coming and going" are just worldly talk. He is like the sky, "perfectly full, inside and out," and can manifest anywhere He chooses, making a visit to Dahanu possible.
