From a theological perspective, why did Sai Baba choose to incarnate in Shirdi, as explained in Chapter 39?

📖 Chapter 39

Chapter 39 of the Sai Satcharitra provides a profound theological reason for Sai Baba's presence in Shirdi. While the arrival was physically facilitated by Chand Patil, the text asserts this was merely a pretext. The true purpose was divine will. As the chapter explains, Sai came to Shirdi "out of great concern for the upliftment of his devotees." It specifically highlights his mission to uplift "the dull-witted, the fallen, and the poor, those without vows, penance, or sacraments—simple and faithful people." This suggests Sai's incarnation was a manifestation of grace for those who might otherwise be overlooked, emphasizing that simple faith was the only prerequisite for his help.
