How did Sai Maharaj react while Kashiram was being attacked, and what does this signify?

While Kashiram was fighting the thieves, Sai Maharaj, located in Shirdi, began creating a scene by shouting, swearing, and showing other signs of intense agitation. As explained in Chapter 0, the people nearby immediately understood the meaning behind this behavior. They recognized it as a sign that a dear devotee was in great danger and that Maharaj's agitation was his method of protecting that person from harm. The text emphasizes that it would have been impossible for Kashiram to escape the armed thieves alive on his own, posing the rhetorical question, "what can the killer do against the Savior?" This signifies Maharaj's omniscient protection over his devotees, intervening to save them even from a distance.
