The narrative draws a powerful parallel between events happening miles apart. Chapter 0 recounts that while Kashiram was fighting for his life, Sai Baba, in Shirdi, was creating a scene by shouting, swearing, and showing great agitation. The people nearby understood this was not a random outburst but a sign that Baba was spiritually protecting a dear devotee from imminent danger. This illustrates the deep, non-local connection Baba had with his followers. In the same passages, we learn about Baba's living conditions. He mostly resided in the Masjid, which at that time was described as being in a dilapidated state. He would sleep one night in the Masjid and the next in the Chavadi.
How did events in Shirdi reflect the danger Kashiram faced, and what was the condition of Baba's dwelling at that time?
