How did Narayanrao's connection with Sai Baba continue even after Baba's physical departure?

Narayanrao's connection with Sai Baba transitioned from physical darshan to profound spiritual experience after Baba's Nirvana. As Chapter 33 recounts, Narayanrao had seen Baba in his bodily form twice, but after the Samadhi, he became restless with a strong desire for darshan. His connection was reaffirmed during a severe illness when all worldly remedies failed. Through his constant meditation, Baba appeared to him in a dream, assuring him of his recovery. This experience demonstrated that Sai is beyond birth and death and steadfastly present for his devotees. The text notes that Sai responds to the call of those with exclusive love, much like fire is made manifest from wood through friction.
