How did Sai Baba manage to bestow grace and assign tasks to devotees even when they were not physically with him?

Chapter 18 explains that Sai Baba's ability to guide his followers was not limited by physical distance. The text states, 'Whether the devotee is near or in a distant land, Baba is close within.' This highlights his omnipresence. It is mentioned that even while seated in the Masjid, Baba could assign a task to someone. He would accomplish this by giving them his own power, or 'Shakti,' which enabled them to get the work done successfully. This demonstrates Baba's profound skill in bestowing grace and his method of operating through his devotees, proving that his help and instructions could reach them anywhere.
