How did Sai Baba protect his devotees when they were in danger, based on the story of Kashiram?

The story of Kashiram provides a powerful example of how Maharaj (Sai Baba) protected his devotees. As detailed in Chapter 0, while Kashiram was being attacked by armed Bhil robbers far from Shirdi, Maharaj was simultaneously creating a scene in Shirdi. He was shouting, swearing, and showing great agitation. The devotees present understood that this behavior was not random; it was Maharaj's way of actively intervening to protect a dear devotee from grave danger. The text explicitly states that this agitation was to save Kashiram, who, despite being outnumbered, managed to survive the deadly encounter, demonstrating that Maharaj's protection transcended physical distance.
