How did Sai Baba use his foreknowledge to help his devotees when they were faced with danger from snakes?

Chapter 22 provides clear examples of Sai Baba using his foreknowledge, or 'inner vision,' to protect his devotees. He knew ahead of time about the specific dangers they would face. For Mirikar, Baba foresaw a 'bad time' involving a snake and insisted that Shama accompany him, providing timely help that averted the danger. For Bapusaheb Buti, who was warned of a life-threatening day by an astrologer, Baba was already aware of the prediction. He directly countered the fear and prophesy, providing mental fortitude before Buti encountered a snake, thus showing he protects devotees both physically and psychologically.
