How did Sai Baba's mysterious behavior in Shirdi correlate with Kashiram's life-threatening encounter elsewhere?

While Kashiram was battling robbers far from Shirdi, Maharaj was creating a scene back in the village. Chapter 0 explains that he was 'shouting, swearing, and showing other signs of agitation.' Those who knew him understood this wasn't random anger; they immediately recognized that a beloved devotee was in great danger and that Baba's agitation was the external sign of his spiritual effort to protect them. The text explicitly states this was to save the devotee, noting, 'what can the killer do against the Savior?' Kashiram's impossible survival against many armed thieves was thus directly attributed to Maharaj's divine intervention from afar, a miracle his followers witnessed through his agitated state.
