Does Chapter 20 offer any way for current devotees to experience past events in Shirdi?

Yes, Chapter 20 explicitly suggests that devotees can still experience past events through inner practice. While describing the beautiful scene of Sai Baba distributing Udi after the noon Aarti, the text acknowledges that "that cannot be seen now." However, it immediately provides a solution by stating that "all those past celebrations In Shirdi, at those places and times, through the power of firm meditation They become visible." The chapter encourages followers to meditate on Baba's form, beholding him from his toe to his face, and in doing so, maintain a living connection and witness those sacred moments in their own consciousness.
