How did Sai Baba use his power to guide devotees, even when they were far away or engaged in other tasks?

Chapter 18 highlights Baba's profound skill in bestowing grace and guiding devotees regardless of physical distance. The text states, 'Whether the devotee is near or in a distant land, Baba is close within.' Even while seated in the Masjid, he could assign a task to someone and get the work done by giving them his own power. A clear example of this is when he sent Madhavrao with a message to get fifteen rupees Dakshina from Shama. As Chapter 18 recounts, Baba told Madhavrao to go to Shama's house and talk for a moment, orchestrating events and interactions from afar to fulfill his purpose and engage his devotees in his divine play.
