I'm looking for information on Sai Baba's views on modern technology, specifically railways. Was he for or against them?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 51

The passages from Chapter 51 do not explicitly state Sai Baba's philosophical views on technology. However, they do feature a train, referred to as 'agnirath', as a central element in a story about his devotees. In this account, Madhavrao and Dixit intend to travel to Shirdi by train. When they find the second-class compartment completely full, they nearly abandon their trip. As Chapter 51 recounts, a train guard, who happened to be an acquaintance of Dixit, appeared and arranged a place for them in the first-class carriage. This event is portrayed not as a commentary on technology itself, but as an instance of Baba's grace ensuring his devotees could complete their pilgrimage.
