How does the text demonstrate Sai Baba's ability to influence events and guide devotees even when they are not in his immediate physical presence?

Chapter 18 provides powerful examples of Baba's omnipresence and ability to guide devotees from afar. The text explicitly states, "Whether the devotee is near or in a distant land, Baba is close within." He would assign tasks to individuals, giving them his own power to accomplish the work, even while he remained in the Masjid. The most striking example is the synchronization of his stories with the readings in the Wada. By telling a devotee a story and sending them to the reading, he engineered a moment of profound realization, confirming his lesson through the sacred text. This process occurred while he was physically separate from the reading, proving his divine skill in orchestrating events to bestow grace and understanding upon his followers.
