How did Sai Baba protect Kashiram during the violent robbery attempt?

The source material provides a fascinating account of Maharaj's remote protection. As Chapter 0 explains, while Kashiram was physically fighting the thieves, Maharaj, who was in Shirdi, began creating a scene by shouting, swearing, and showing other signs of intense agitation. The people around him immediately understood that this behavior signified that a dear devotee was in grave danger and that Maharaj's actions were a spiritual form of protection. The text highlights this by noting it was impossible for Kashiram to escape alive on his own, asking rhetorically, "what can the killer do against the Savior?"
