Chapter 18 explains that Sai Baba's grace and guidance were not confined by physical presence, as he was always 'close within' every devotee, whether they were near or far. The text highlights his profound skill in bestowing grace by assigning tasks to individuals and getting the work done by endowing them with his own power, all while he remained seated in the Masjid. An example of this is how he would direct devotees to the readings in the Wada. Another specific instance mentioned is when he suddenly remembered Shama, and from the Masjid, sent Madhavrao with a message to go to Shama's house and collect fifteen rupees as Dakshina, showcasing his omnipresent awareness and ability to manage affairs from afar.
How did Sai Baba manage to guide his devotees and assign tasks even when he was physically located in the Masjid?
