How did Sai Baba's followers interpret his agitated behavior in Shirdi during the attack on Kashiram?

The events described in Chapter 0 reveal a profound spiritual connection. While Kashiram was fighting for his life against the thieves, Sai Baba, who was miles away in Shirdi, suddenly became extremely agitated, shouting and swearing. The people with him at the time did not see this as random anger. They immediately recognized that this behavior was a sign that one of Baba's beloved devotees was in grave danger. They understood that Maharaj's agitation was his method of spiritually intervening to protect that devotee from harm. This confirmed their belief that Baba was the ultimate 'Savior' protecting his followers from any peril.
