How was Shri Sai Maharaj involved when Kashiram was fighting for his life against the thieves?

While Kashiram was being attacked by armed thieves, Shri Sai Maharaj, who was in Shirdi, began acting very strangely. As detailed in Chapter 0, he was shouting, swearing, and showing other signs of great agitation. The people around him understood that this behavior meant a dear devotee was in grave danger and that Maharaj's agitation was a spiritual act to protect that person. The text notes that it was impossible for Kashiram to escape alive on his own, but Maharaj acted as his savior from a distance, ensuring his survival.
